What did you think of the argument the sermon made about the link between baptism and ministry (even ordained ministry)? 

Do you think we, as a denomination still struggle with the concept of the ordination of women?

Do you think our congregation struggles with that concept (having never been served by a woman pastor)? 

In what ways, if any, does our congregation struggle with gneder roles as a church?

Do you think that the same arguments can be made in the conversation regarding the ordination of homosexual men and women in ministry? 

Finally, as a sermon, how convincing was this sermon?
