Scriptural Speed Bumps: “Wives, be subject to your husbands …”
Christians in the past century have wrestled deeply with the implications of this Sunday’s Scripture. Does God set women apart and demand their submission to their husbands? Complementarianism, a theology of separate roles, says that headship roles in marriage belong to men, while support roles are assigned to women. What does the United Methodist Church say about this? This belief creates a mindset that affects all people, not just those who are married. This Sunday we dive right into a hot button issue in our modern society and discover the truth of the text.
