If we interpreted 1 Cor. 14:33ff, 1 Tim. 2:12ff, Gen. 3:16 and 1 Cor. 11:1ff as husband-wife instead of as male-female, and if men focused on being husbands to their own wives instead of men in a group of males, then this wouldnt happen as much, but since we dont then... Whenever women challenge the spiritual authority of men, whether by claiming a new faith or interpreting the orthodoxies of establish faith, their views have been seen as a political challenge to male dominance. And the response has consistently been to either shut them up through shunning or eliminating them as enemies of the state. Historically, women have displayed enormous piety and faith in all religions. Nevertheless, male religious authorities consistently have tried to keep women’s faith expressions tame. What Kate Kelly and Meriam Ibrahim have done is what all religious people must do: challenge the patriarchal assumptions of institutional religion and governments alike. --R.M.
