But I think that God sees his church in larger terms than the visible organizations that claim His name. His church is really an organism, and all the ordaining in the world will not increase the moral authority of these patriarchal structures.

It was a very interesting read bc I really began to belive that patriarchy, no matter how its talked about, is evil as its root, no matter how "Christianised" it is. I really wish Christianity would let go of it, but it doesn't seem to want to budge from male dominated power structures. sigh.
