A group of conservative Christian women is seeking 100,000 signatures on a “True Woman Manifesto” aimed at sparking a counter-revolution to the feminist movement of the 1960s.
Introduced at a gathering of more than 6,000 women in early October, the document calls not for equal rights, but instead proclaims that men and women are created to reflect God’s image in “complementary and distinct ways.”
That includes the idea that women are called “to honor and support God-ordained male leadership in the home and in the church.”
“That is very explosive stuff,” organizer Mary Kassian described the campaign Nov.25 on a radio program hosted by Al Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. “It is countercultural, because the world would be screaming at us, women would be screaming at us: ‘What are you doing? All those rights that we fought so hard for, how can you say ‘ust give that up and say that men are to be the heads of the homes?’
“The basis on which we do that is because we believe that is taught in Scripture,” Kassian explained. “And we believe that is a blessing for women and not a curse against women, and that actually when we live according to God’s design, we find blessing and peace and wholeness in our lives.”
