Curia

Does 1 Timothy 2 ban women in the teaching in the church? Well, this piece examines the original translation and false teaching that was occurring in Ephesus and why this actually isn't a universal ban in the contentious and often misread passage of 1 Timothy 2.

As I said just now, Andrew Bartlett has been a real supportive friend and ally to many women leaders, including myself and to Curia.

Andrew is an international arbiter with a BA in theology, and he's also the author of Men and Women in Christ, uh, which is a fresh light from the biblical text.

It's a great book which we encourage you to grab.

So thank you.

Thank you so much.

Before we conclude this interview, I would really love it if you could share with our listeners and those who are watching some of your wider work in relation to Curia and what we do to champion women leaders and, of course, your new book which is coming out.

out.Yeah, thank you very much for the opportunity.

I was going to touch on those stats.

Well, do you want to have a go now? Yeah, and it actually made me really sad as a National Party member because so, and I apologize if I pronounce this wrong, but for Kati Māori, a Curia poll has come out this week.

So Curia do the National Party polling, the Taxpayer Union polling as well.

And so it showed that Luxembourg is on 4% as preferred Prime Minister amongst Māori voters and National is only polling at 6%.

Comparison, Labour's on 31%, Te Poti Māori on 18%, Greens on 17%, New Zealand First on 8%.
