To nicely, politely subordinate
an entire group of people based
on an unalterable biological trait
is ungodly and a tragic waste

of talents and stories for edification
of all the assembly of gathered believers;
the men who are scared of church "feminization"
are being deprived of being receivers

of God's words through women who greatly adore Him.
We hide half the light, forbidding its shining
and wonder why our lives seem dim
as the church persists in error pining.
