I came across this blog entry by Karen Spears Zacharias about feminism in the church and society and thought it gave a balanced and helpful perspective on where we are at from a woman's perspective. Here is an excerpt:
So, no, for me the most egregious oppression of women does not occur within the community of Faith. On the contrary, my most ardent feminist friends are the men and women I have encountered within the Faith community. I have faced far more sexism in newsrooms than I ever encountered within the church. That’s not true of every newsroom where I worked, of course. Nor is it true of every church where I’ve worshiped.
