I like the way Mike Riccardi approaches this issue. I’ve read a lot of the current discussion, puzzled a bit myself and asking why is there a necessity to establish an Eternal Functional Submission (EFS) of the Son to the Father to prop up complementarian roles of men and women in the family setting. I am quite comfortable acknowledging ‘equality’ of being/personhood and also the need for ‘roles’ in relationships.
