As the mothers, wives, and daughters of these men, it is our concern that this doctrine is setting them up for failure as Christian fathers, <\/span>husbands<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and sons;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>we are concerned<\/strong> about the sin that evangelical church leaders commit when they deny the love of Christ fully to women simply because they were born female;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>we are concerned <\/strong>about the damage this causes to families when husbands and fathers are told that they have Headship over their wives and daughters;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>we are concerned<\/strong> about wife abuse, girlfriend abuse, and abuse to female children that takes place in many homes where evangelical men are taught that they have earthly and spiritual authority over women;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>we are concerned<\/strong> that the children who attend churches that subscribe to the principles of The Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood will grow up not knowing the full redemptive power of the blood of Jesus for both men and women;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>we are concerned<\/strong> <\/span>for<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> the mental and emotional development of girls and boys who attend churches that teach <\/span>males<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> have superiority over females;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>we are concerned<\/strong> that men who are taught that they have Male Headship over a home and church do not feel that they are accountable for abusive attitudes and actions towards women;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>we are concerned<\/strong> about the mistranslation of the scriptures by complementarian translation committees and by the false teachings propagated by the Council on Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>we are concerned<\/strong> that pastors who teach and preach male domination\/female subordination cannot relate in a loving, Christ-like manner to female members of their congregations because they have already judged them and found them lacking;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>we are concerned<\/strong> that the issue of wifely submission, promoted so heavily by the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, is more about power and control than about love or obeying the Word of God.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>It is because of these concerns that:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>We demand<\/strong> that the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood acknowledge the harm that has been done to the church body by The Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood, confess it as sin, and denounce it;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>we demand<\/strong> that denominational leaders and all churches and seminaries which have adopted The Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood do the same;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>we demand<\/strong> a public apology from the Council on Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood, and from all heads of seminaries and Bible colleges that have adopted The Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood, for the inestimable damage this statement has done to all Christians whose lives have been influenced by it;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>we demand<\/strong> that the Council on Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood begin to promote the Biblical design of functional equality for all Christians, both <\/span>men<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> and women;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>we demand<\/strong> that the Council on Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood begin to speak out against pastors who continue to demean women and oppress Christians by the use of The Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>we demand<\/strong> that the Council on Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood chastise pastors who claim that abuse of women is acceptable and justified because the wife is not submitting to the husband;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>we demand<\/strong> that the Council on Biblical Manhood and Biblical Womanhood make known to every boy and every girl who attend an evangelical church, that God is their head, and that authority over another human being can come only from God;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size:
