A recent Christianity Today article<\/a> by Tish Harrison Warren caught my eye. Warren is an ordained minister in the Anglican tradition, and a woman. Christianity Today is more open on female ordination than many other evangelical publications, but Warren\u2019s article points to some major blindspots nonetheless. Warren, you see, is concerned about woman bloggers who operate outside of church authority and yet write about their spiritual journeys publicly for all to see. This is\u2014apparently\u2014a crisis.<\/p>\n

\n

The rise of the blogosphere in the early 2000s yielded the genre of the \u201cspiritual blogger.\u201d From the comfort of their living rooms, lay people suddenly became household names, wielding influence over tens of thousands of followers. A new kind of Christian celebrity\u2014and authority\u2014was born: the speaker and author who comes to us (often virtually) as a seemingly autonomous voice, disembedded from any larger institution or ecclesial structure.<\/p>\n

Just as the invention of the printing press helped spark the Protestant Reformation and created a crisis of authority, the advent of social media has catalyzed a new crisis in the church.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yes, that\u2019s right\u2014a crisis<\/em>.<\/p>\n

One thing I appreciate about the internet in general, and the blogosphere in particular, is that it has provided a platform for voices that would otherwise have gone unheard. It means anyone with an internet connection can say their piece, and in a place others can read it.<\/p>\n

And that, Warren argues, is a problem. Because it usurps church authority.<\/p>\n

\n

One of the most prominent recent examples of this crisis involves the popular blogger Jen Hatmaker, who last year announced that her views about homosexuality have changed. She was cheered by some and denounced by others. LifeWay stopped selling her books. Aside from the debate about sexuality,\u00a0broader questions emerged<\/a>: Where do bloggers and speakers like Hatmaker derive their authority to speak and teach? And who holds them accountable for their teaching? What kinds of theological training and ecclesial credentialing are necessary for Christian teachers and leaders? What interpretive body and tradition do these bloggers speak out of? Who decides what is true Christian orthodoxy? And how do we as listeners decide whom to trust as a Christian leader and teacher?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Now maybe it\u2019s just me, but I was raised\u00a0in an evangelical home, and I grew up with the idea that all one\u00a0needs is the Bible, and the Holy Spirit. I didn\u2019t grow up believing that religion needed to be filtered through specific authority figures\u2014figures appointed by whom, exactly? In this way my upbringing reflected ideas present in evangelicalism at least since\u00a0the early 1800s. After the Revolutionary War, Americans had become\u00a0unwilling to accept authority for authority\u2019s sake. Popular religious leaders arose, with or without official denominational backing. People felt empowered to form their own\u00a0ideas, and to follow their own interpretations.<\/p>\n

I understand the critique this thought process often garners\u2014it was this period that spawned the Church of Mormon, after all, and all manner of new religious experiments evangelicals would disapprove of. A man and his Bible\u2014or a woman and her Bible\u2014potentially means as many denominations as there are people. But I am shy of authority in the realm of religion. I don\u2019t want to see anyone dictating what others must believe, or what they are allowed to say, or\u00a0when they may speak. A woman blogger speaks for herself. If she\u00a0doesn\u2019t claim to speak for a church, or a denomination, what is the problem?<\/p>\n

Warren, however, is convinced that there is a problem\u2014and a big one.<\/p>\n

\n

In this new cyber age, authority comes not from the church or the academic guild but from popularity. Hits on a viral post lead to book deals, which lead to taking the conference stage. Winsome, relatable writing, good storytelling, and compelling life experiences are often as crucial to audience size\u2014and therefore to authority\u2014as theological teaching, presuppositions, or argument. Christian bloggers and conference speakers have become a sort of cyber-age equivalent to megachurch pastors, garnering huge followings based on a cult of personality and holding extensive power and influence, yet often lacking any accountability to formal structures of church governance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m not sure how exactly Warren missed this, but megachurch pastors don\u2019t actually typically have that much in terms of \u201caccountability to formal structures of church governance.\u201d Megachurches are often built around a cult of personality. In fact, much\u00a0of evangelicalism in general lacks \u201caccountability to formal structures of church governance.\u201d Churches with no denominational affiliation proliferate, as do denominations that exercise little top-down control.<\/p>\n

Nor does Warren address the differences between running a megachurch\u2014where you are dealing with real people\u2019s everyday lives\u2014and writing a blog, where your authority only goes so far as people are willing to read your writing and find meaning in it. Pastors of megachurches are in physical contact with their followers; there is opportunity for grooming and abuse. There is also greater opportunity for financial mismanagement\u2014blogging does not typically pay much, and a Patreon lacks the same \u201cumph\u201d as\u00a0a church tithe.<\/p>\n

If Warren is so concerned about the lack of church authority, why isn\u2019t she out there remonstrating against megachurches? Why isn\u2019t she making an outcry against Independent Fundamentalist Baptist churches? Warren belongs to a denominations that exercises church authority, with bishops and the like, but the evangelical megachurch I grew up in had nothing of the sort. Why\u00a0is it\u00a0female bloggers, who are typically doing little\u00a0more than writing a public diary, that have garnered Warren\u2019s attention?<\/p>\n

Warren mentions that woman bloggers\u00a0are less likely than male religious leaders to have seminary training. Why yes. This is true. But you know what? There are a zillion and one male pastors out there with zero seminary training\u2014or with seminary training in fundamentalist institutions that do little more than formalize Bible reading and memorization. Having seminary training\u2014for better or for worse\u2014is not a requirement for being a pastor or church leader. Why, then, the focus on woman bloggers?<\/p>\n

If Warren is so concerned about women bloggers\u2019 relative lack of seminary training, why doesn\u2019t she encourage denominations and seminaries to offer online courses or create readings packets\u2014say, lists of recommended books\u2014for female bloggers who write about spiritual matters? Instead of calling for greater denominational authority and control over woman bloggers, why not focus on the services these bodies\u00a0can offer bloggers? Denominations could easily create an online certificate for\u00a0bloggers interested in more formal education.<\/p>\n

But Warren\u2019s concern, as we shall see, runs deeper:<\/p>\n

\n

\u2026with the blessing and power of leadership comes the duty and vulnerability of speaking out of one\u2019s particular theological tradition and in turn being held accountable to that same tradition. As public teachers\u2014even those operating in cyberspace\u2014we forfeit the luxury of holding merely \u201cprivate\u201d beliefs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I think Warren is missing the point of lay blogging. Women bloggers who write about spiritual matters frequently are writing about their private beliefs\u2014sharing them on a blog is in practice little different from sharing them with a girlfriend or sister. I well remember those conversations, where we would talk over various spiritual issues and offer our own thoughts on tricky passages, or swap stories or ideas that helped us understand this concept or that. Is this sort of conversation on Warren\u2019s chopping block too?<\/p>\n

Warren continues as follows:<\/p>\n

\n

When Christian writers or speakers make theological statements, we have a responsibility to give a specific argument, show our rigorous theological work, elevate the conversation, welcome strong criticism and debate, and in so doing, help others think and worship better. And although many Christian writers and speakers might have some level of private, informal accountability in their home churches, they still need overt institutional superintendence (to match a huge national stage) and ecclesial accountability that has heft and power. Otherwise, they can teach any doctrine on earth under the banner of Christian faith and orthodoxy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There\u2019s a big difference between \u201chold yourself to a standard\u201d and the sort of top-down denominational control Warren is suggesting. It\u2019s absolutely true that anyone writing their thoughts on the internet, especially one with a large platform, has a responsibility to make sure that what they are writing is accurate\u2014to put in some background research when necessary\u2014and\u00a0to think through the ramifications of what they\u2019re writing, etc. But Warren is suggesting more than this. She is suggesting denominational control over what women write.<\/p>\n

And\u00a0god forbid woman bloggers teach \u201cany doctrine on earth\u201d under \u201cthe banner of Christian faith and orthodoxy\u201d! Newsflash: this is exactly what male (and female) pastors have been doing in this country for hundreds of years. We don\u2019t have a state church<\/em>. We have this thing called freedom of religion. Warren may want to take a good hard look at the state of Christianity beyond her specific, top-down denomination\u2014Christianity in the U.S. has always<\/em> been\u00a0characterized by the teaching of\u00a0\u201cany doctrine on earth\u201d under \u201cthe banner of Christian faith and orthodoxy.\u201d Why focus on female bloggers rather than on male pastors?<\/p>\n

Warren never properly differentiates between woman bloggers as a group and the high-profile woman bloggers she sometimes mentions\u2014those having a \u201chuge national stage.\u201d I would be a-okay with Warren calling for high-profile woman bloggers to look into seminary training, be aware of\u00a0their limitations, and consider finding a team\u00a0of mentors or pursuing formal denominational affiliation. Instead, Warren paints all woman bloggers who write about spiritual matters with the same brush and calls for \u201cecclesiastical accountability\u201d with \u201cheft and power.\u201d<\/p>\n

What might such ecclesiastical accountability look like?<\/p>\n

\n

I am an Anglican priest; the tradition I serve in offers just one model of church governance and accountability. If I were to teach or write anything that wandered from Anglican orthodoxy (specifically the constitution and canons of the Anglican Church in North America), the next day or sooner I\u2019d get a call from my bishop, to whom I\u2019ve formally and publically pledged to submit. He has actual power to take away my title, my job, my authority, and my microphone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Warren never considers that this sort of top-down denominational control\u00a0might\u00a0be a bad thing in some instances. It means she can be silenced, if she displeases someone in power. It means her tenure is contingent on her repeating the party line\u2014and staying<\/em> in line.<\/p>\n

\n

I\u2019m grateful that I cannot speak as an autonomous, unbridled voice. Instead, I have a large, international, historically grounded body that prays for me, that supports me, and that also makes sure I don\u2019t accidentally (or intentionally) lead others astray or invent ideas that will damage the church.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Okay, I stand corrected. She does realize this\u2014and she likes it.<\/p>\n

\n

If we don\u2019t respond to this current crisis of authority institutionally, we are allowing Christian doctrine to be highjacked by whomever has the loudest voice or biggest platform.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Um, Warren? That is how it always is. That is how it has always been.<\/p>\n

\n

All of us\u2014whether complementarians or egalitarians\u2014need to create institutional structures to recognize the authority held by female teachers and writers and then hold them accountable for the claims they make under the name of Jesus and in the name of the church.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And again I say\u2014we have freedom of religion, and freedom of speech.<\/p>\n

\n

Providing ecclesial oversight does not mean that all writers will speak out of one narrow tradition. Nor does ecclesial affiliation itself ensure orthodoxy\u2014there is, of course, no silver bullet against false teaching. Nevertheless, without institutional accountability there is simply no mechanism by which we as a church can preserve doctrinal fidelity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m slightly baffled that one could study church history in seminary and still come away believing that there is such thing as doctrinal purity, let alone that it is something you can actually protect. Sure, you can decide what beliefs you and your denomination (if you\u2019re in charge of it) teach and adhere to, but you can\u2019t control anyone else\u2019s beliefs\u2014and Christians\u2019\u00a0beliefs have been fragmented and in disagreement for as long as Christianity has been a thing. If a woman blogger isn\u2019t claiming to speak for the Anglican church while having no official affiliation, why is Warren upset? Christianity fragmented long<\/em> before the advent of blogging.<\/p>\n

The ironic thing is that Warren is an Anglican. She\u2019s writing in an evangelical magazine, and I\u2019m willing to bet\u00a0that at least 50% of that publication\u2019s\u00a0readership\u00a0believes infant baptism\u2014which Warren practices as an Anglican\u2014is false teaching.<\/em> Christianity Today is not the publication of a specific denomination; its readership is made up of those from many different denominations\u2014denominations that disagree strongly on multiple points.<\/p>\n

There is no way to prevent \u201cfalse teaching\u201d or preserve \u201cdoctrinal fidelity.\u201d American Christianity\u00a0doesn\u2019t operate with that level of top-down institutional authority. We do not have an established church.<\/em> If Warren doesn\u2019t like some of the things she reads on the female Christian blogosphere, she can create her own blog and respond. It really is that simple!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be very clear about what is going on here\u2014blogging has offered\u00a0a platform to millions of people who did not have one\u00a0before (particularly marginalized people, who may not have access to any other platform). Within the church, blogging\u00a0has\u00a0enabled\u00a0a wide swath of laypeople, particularly women, to write about their spiritual journeys, their interpretations of Bible passages, and so forth. Warren does not like this democratization because these bloggers\u00a0are not trained or under the control of the church, and that makes them dangerous. So\u00a0she calls\u00a0on pastors and others with seminary training to<\/em> crack down on this democratization<\/em> by imposing\u00a0ecclesiastical authority.<\/p>\n
