Christine Jolly @jollystine.bsky.social · 25/12/2024Australian Presbyterians are considering a proposal that includes many recommendations in which they can improve how women are heard and equipped and included in the church. One suggestion is to elect a group of women to advise the elders (all male). 1/ 110 0
Christine Jolly @jollystine.bsky.social · 25/12/2024Many are noting this recommendation is a work-around while still maintaining male-only eldership, creating shadow-elders or de-facto elders. Those for and against male-only eldership find it odd and a bending of convictions and tradition. 2/ 100 0
