This issue of Gospel Today has been pulled from the shelves at Lifeway Christian Bookstores.
Not because of what the women are wearing, but because of what they do.
They're pastors.
Gospel Today, the Fayetteville-published magazine, was pulled off the racks by the bookstores’ owner, the Southern Baptist Convention. The problem? The five smiling women on the cover are women of the cloth — church pastors.
Southern Baptist polity says that’s a role reserved for men.
So much for breaking the glass ceiling.
