An apology in the right direction.

| 2 Comments

It was brought to my attention that Jared Wilson has apologized for the blog post that used offensive and insensitive language toward women regarding their “role” in sex (see “Some Reflections, Just One Explanation, and Apologies”). I am thankful to see it. It is an apology in the right direction. I agree with Scot McKnight that this wasn’t the same type of disagreement between egalitarians and complementarians that we are used to reading (see “Thank You”). The words used were potentially far more offensive. Obviously there are complementarians who would never use that language to describe their sexual relationship with their wife. Wilson’s realization that this language could cause harm is one I applaud. I am glad to see he decided to remove the post.

  1. Humility is Chrislike, and that took a bit of humility.
