WOMEN'S WORK: Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, with its main campus in Fort Worth, Texas, is inaugurating a 23-hour academic program in homemaking. Course work will include nutrition and meal preparation, "clothing construction," general homemaking, child development and the biblical model for home and family.
The seminary's Web site says this program, which counts toward a B.A. degree in the humanities, "endeavors to prepare women to model the characteristics of the godly woman as outlined in the Scripture." Benjamin Cole, a Texas Baptist pastor, said "it's yet another example of the ridiculous and silly degree to which some Southern Baotists, Southwestern in particular, are trying to return to what they perceive to be biblical gender roles." Added Cole: "It's insulting ... to many young women training in vital ministry roles" (Washington Post, August 9).
