2. SEBTS Chapel - Russell Jones March 6, 1986
- Description:
- Disclaimer: The first portion of the service is inaudible. Russell Jones was an MDiv student at Southeastern Seminary. The service begins with Scripture readings (0:00-1:59). Several women give a presentation about the birth of Jesus (2:00-5:03). Jones shares his thoughts about women who have been called into ministry and reads from Galatians 3:28 (5:04-6:19). Jones admits to being a skeptic when it comes to Scripture, especially about God’s acceptance, and he speaks on the difficulty of hearing Paul say there is not a division to be made between types of people (6:20-7:40). He speaks on tearing down the walls of what a minister is supposed to be like, removing the masculine and feminine labels and replacing them with attributes devoid of gender assumptions (7:41-12:13). Jones argues that “denying church ordination to a person on the basis of sex” does a great injustice (12:14-18:29). The congregation shares in reciting the litany of affirmation (18:30-20:59). The service ends with a benediction (21:00-21:33).
