For those interested more in why guys should lead, you might want to refer to the whole lesson 26 (titled 'Ministry of Women') from Ecclesiology bible seminar (2003). keke.
It also address two misunderstandings about women's ministry arising from the scriptures.. 1 Timothy 2:11-12 and 1 Corinthians 14:34-35. hehe.
Personally, I'm half a feminist.. so I didn't really like the notion that guys should lead when I first became a Christ-follower. hehe. but i guess as I go along in life, I start to see the need in the guys rising up to take the lead. start to understand certain things more. and i think what wenjiang said was quite true. in the heart of hearts, the female gender do look to someone to depend on as well. not that being dependent is wrong or makes you weaker, the female can be strong and do things by herself and all.. it's just a nice feeling to have i suppose :)
complement :P
same equality, different functions.
and of course, as a church, we believe that both genders have the potential to lead. but yes brothers, do take the lead. rise up! answer the call!

was watching 'enchanted' with (in alphabetical order) huanyan, jalea, johnson and yizhong (i'm quite diplomatic. hahaa). it's a. very. loveylovey kind of movie. i was telling calyn that it's those kind of make-you-feel-good-for-the-whole-movie-and-play -on-each-person's-innate-desire-for-someone-to-love-them kind of show.
shucks. i just found something which is not supposed to be my house anymore. church bulletin from 2 november 1997. under New members, welcome to our family! i saw two familiar names o.O
