Women in the pulpit

As a layman, please allow me to insert a brief commment about faltering. As 
for the Gazowskys church, I have very reliable sources that state that this 
church presently imbraces FAR LESS than the Apostle's Doctrine-FACT, not here say. 
 I have been in church for 24 years and I as a layman fear the Lord and respect
the office of the Clergy, I know better than to disect or measure a man of God, or 
another saint, but using judgment and passing judgment are two different things.
  I recall a man many years ago that was the greatest preacher, teacher that I have 
heard in my entire life. Something happened to this man, I refused to accept it 
for a long time, but there were things, little things concerning holiness that 
he began to say in his sermons. Finally he openly rebelled against not just the 
teaching of the UPC, but against his elders. Finally he fell away, lost his 
church, and his wife. This man was Mark Hanby. Brother Hanby was one of my true 
heroes. I would be glad to discuss this on my email with anyone. This was for me
one of my greatest losses since I have been in church. Fact, not here say.
  Brothers and Sisters I believe in not judging, but Paul told us to mark them that 
cause divisions among us, and have not their company. I believe he is saying, " Open 
your eyes saints". You don't have to be vicious toward someone that walks away from 
truth, but neither should we condone what they teach.
  Thank you all for your consideration in this matter.  Roger evans
