"We cannot ascertain the truth of an opinion by inquiries about its age. Let us decide that as the Church did, for ages, misinterpret the teachings of the Bible on the subject of slavery, so it may now fail to apprehend its teaching on the question of woman's rights.



Christian men and women should not wait until a righteous cause is popular before they give it their influence. Those who do are simply following fashion, while they may think they are following the Lord. . . .



It is not enough to say that the right will ultimately triumph, if we claim to be righteous we should help make the right triumph."

-- B. T. Roberts, Ordaining Women, p. 16. 1891

"One problem with Christian subculture is that traditions or conventions are often harmfully conflated with being a good Christian or with conforming to Biblical principles."
