Kicking out women teachers out of church
"Sunday school teacher dumped for being female" so at least one Baptist church gets serious about what Paul talks about in 1 Tim 2:12.
But I believe this is like closing the barn door after the fact. Getting rid of women teachers or even my [previous] extreme of kicking out all women from church isn't good enough [or wrong approach].
We need to follow Jesus by following His steps and "go and make [male] disciples" -- and church will happen as natural consequence of following Him. Of course, women & children can come [as disciples in training?] but should not be the main focus, just as Jesus focused most of His time in making His disciples Himself.
