It's about time society recognizes that a woman's place is in the home,
taking care of her husband and children. Let men handle the important
things, I always say.




WATERTOWN, N.Y. (AP) -- The minister of a church that dismissed a
female Sunday School teacher after adopting what it called a literal
interpretation of the Bible says a woman can perform any job - outside
of the church.

The First Baptist Church dismissed Mary Lambert on Aug. 9 with a letter
explaining that the church had adopted an interpretation that prohibits
women from teaching men. She had taught there for 54 years.

The letter quoted the first epistle to Timothy: "I do not permit a
woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent."

The Rev. Timothy LaBouf, who also serves on the Watertown City Council,
issued a statement saying his stance against women teaching men in
Sunday school would not affect his decisions as a city leader in
Watertown, where all five members of the council are men but the city
manager who runs the city's day-to-day operations is a woman.
