a sermon by Dr. R. C. Sproul Jr. entitled "Off With the Skirt, on With the

Covet to Prophesy by Katharine Bushnell.
A rare copy of the booklet was sent to us by Ruth Hoppin the author of
Priscilla's Letter. From Genesis to Paul Bushnell takes on tradition
stating "There is no middle ground safe for the Church. She should either
silence women altogether in every activity that would make her voice heard in
the Church as a teacher or preacher, or else give a tardy assent to the truth of
Paul’s sweeping assertion that “there can be no male and female” distinctions as
to call and privilege that the Church is authorized to make, or can make,
without mischief to the body of believers. Covet to Prophesy is a real
find. Enjoy!
