Question Everything is a series of posts that asks the questions people are really thinking, but are often afraid to ask. You can submit your question <a title="Submit A Question" href="../submit-a-question/">here</a>.

Today’s question comes from <a href="http://provoketive.com/author/thesethingsmatterbymelody/">Melody Harrison Hanson</a>.

“If there is historical evidence that Jesus affirmed and loved and served with women, even has them as disciples, why is the Church so stuck on this issue?  Why don't pastors/leaders/teachers care about learning the historical truth?  (My sources Ben Witherington, Scot McKnight)  What will it take to change?  (Asked by implication/threat of women leaving the church by Jim Henderson, in Resignation of Eve)”

How would you answer the question?
