"Revivalist Charles_Finney was the Billy Graham of the 1800s.
When you came down the aisle and accepted Jesus as your personal savior at a Finney revival, he took you in the back room, where there were two tables, one table to sign up for the anti-slavery movement and the other for the feminist movement.
When they took you in the back room, they didn’t give you a Gospel of John. You had to sign up for what he believed God was doing in the world at that time. And at that time, he saw that the great movements of God were the abolition of slavery and the liberation of women from their servitude."
taken from "Let the Women Preach" by Tony Campolo

ought we still sign up for the anti-slavery movement, and the feminist movement?
yes.

slavery of today-- prostitution and human trafficking.
anti-feminism today-- the sex-trade, domestic violence.
but one could argue that the majority of anti-feminism, at least in the Western World, is found in the Church. hate to say it.

so, i'll take after Finney.
if you're a believer, please, sign up to join the great movements of God: the abolition of slavery, and the liberation of women.

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27
