In America, evangelical churches have often been bastions of conservatism, providing support for the status quo.

Although I believe that scripture is divinely inspired and infallible, I have a hard time going along with the belief that the whole creation process occurred in six twenty-four hour days.
Tony Campolo
I don't know how your theology works, but if Jesus has a choice between stained glass windows and feeding starving kids in Haiti, I have a feeling he'd choose the starving kids in Haiti.

Women have the same privileges and opportunities as men, given the New Testament.

Relegating women to second-class citizenship was abolished when Jesus died on the cross.
