(This is the second post in a series of ten posts critiquing the Report of the Presbyterian Church in America's Study Committee on Women Serving in the Ministry of the Church: first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth.)
On to our examination of the Report itself. We'll use screen shots so we can refer to line numbers.
In the first sentence of the Report (Line 10), readers are assured each of the Committee members are "joyfully committed" to "the Bible's teaching on the complementarity of men and women."

If you don't follow the Woz, you ought to. He and the late Steve Jobs were co-founders of Apple, but Steve Wozniak is the anti-Jobs. Down-to-earth and self-effacing, when Woz has something to say, it's usually worth hearing. Take for instance his views on money.
