Radio station refuses ads about female pastor
Mars Hill, a local Christian radio network, won’t accept paid advertising for an upcoming Christian crusade in Syracuse because a female pastor is participating.
“We can’t comfortably promote women in the role of pastor,†said Wayne Taylor, the general manager.
Mars Hill’s nine-member, all-male board of directors voted unanimously Tuesday to accept an interpretation of Scriptural passages that prohibit women from serving as church elders or pastors. That means the Syracuse-based network of four stations will not advertise or promote the two-day City Wide Crusade, which features a June 8 appearance by televangelist Pastor Paula White.
Bible billboard riddles
Seven giant scratchcards have been put on billboards in Bolton and elsewhere in Greater Manchester to get the Bible message across.
People are being asked to find the missing word from a headline featuring a biblical story in The Riddle of Life competition run by the Bible Society.
The riddles are being advertised on hundreds of billboards and bus shelters as well as on trams, buses, taxis and even beer mats.
Those who solve all seven riddles stand the chance of winning £7,000 for a good cause based in the Greater Manchester area.
