Bobby Ross of the "Christian Chronicle" posted a blog concerning the use of personal electronic communication devices during church services. According to Bobby, in some churches, worshipers/listeners are invited to participate in the service by posting reactions to the sermon, accessing scripture, twittering the minister’s message to friends, etc. For the purposes of this discussion, we will assume that those in attendance would not avail themselves of any inappropriate possibilities.
The question for today is, could a sister post a “preach on brother", "amen" or "hallelujah” without breaking the custom of women being silent? After all, a tweet is not a “speak”.
Of course the question is ludicrous, but some conservative Christians have painted themselves into this and similar corners. The answer to their quandaries is not debate, but better understanding of submission and authority in the church.
