Lifeway Christian Bookstores pulls Women of the Cloth
by Jeff
That’s not something a buyer would typically find in a Christian bookstore. Not unless it’s one of the more than 100 Lifeway Christian Bookstores across the United States, including about six in metro Atlanta.
Gospel Today, the Fayetteville-published magazine, was pulled off the racks by the bookstores’ owner, the Southern Baptist Convention. The problem? The five smiling women on the cover are women of the cloth — church pastors. More here.
I’m only upset that the cover didn’t have Rev’s. Julie Peeples; Alma Purvis; Lucretia Middleton; Virginia Herring; Cindy Higgins; etc. Some of Greensboro’s finest women of the cloth!
