Kudos are in order for Inductive Bible Study leaders at Urbana 2006 last week. I was hard pressed to find any heirarchical authoritarians in the whole bunch. In a feedback time after the conference, the leadership found that there was very little complementarian argument over the selected study of Ephesians chapter 5. Praise God for that. As well, they used the TNIV as the text of study–another PTL!!

Could you provide us with some more information about Urbana 2006, Ron? I’ve only heard about it vaguely. Why were they studying Ephesians 5? I’ve usually only heard this text discussed in reference to marriage and family. Somehow, though, I don’t think this conference was a marriage conference.

The Urbana conference theme, “You have a Calling,” was taken from Eph. 2, and during the 5 day conference, participants went through an inductive study of the entire book of Ephesians - which naturally included Eph. 5 during one of the morning sessions.
