"Saying that only men can be leaders of the churches, or leaders of any organizations, including families, because of what the New Testament says, or what happened in the days of Jesus, is like saying that we should still stone children to death when they disobey their parents, and execute bankers who lend money out as interest or textile workers who mix different kinds of fabric. The Bible was written in a particular time and place, and to rip it out of its context and pretend that somehow its words automatically apply to our own time and place, without remainder, is- not to put too fine a point on it- sheer lunacy." Bart D. Ehrman
