- 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).

- Description:
- Robin Hadaway was Associate Professor of Missions at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. The interview begins with Hadaway giving the background of his life in ministry and his work with the International Missions Board (00:00-05:10). Hadaway talks about how the change of the Baptist Faith and Message effected the protocol in the IMB, and he shares a few stories about how the changes were received on the mission field (05:11-10:41). Hadaway says that he desired more theological assurance from his missionaries, and he talks about missionaries that left the IMB when the Conservative Resurgence occurred and when the BF&M was updated (10:42-16:51). He states that the main reasons some of his missionaries left the IMB was because they felt that the changes were put into effect without their personal input, and some left because that did not agree with the changes regarding women in ministry (16:52-18:59). Hadaway speaks about Ida Mae Hayes being ordained by her church in Brazil, and he feels mad about the situation because she lied to the IMB and is now pastoring in North Carolina (19:00-29:03). He makes a clarification that Ida Mae Hayes had no authority over pastors in her role as a director of missions in Brazil (29:04-32:09). In the final question of the interview, Hadaway says that he wants the IMB needs to put in place more perimeters regarding single women on the mission field, and he clarifies the statement given by the IMB on Ida Mae Hayes’ retirement (32:10-36:12).
