Lexington Episcopal Bishop Stacy Sauls, speaking at one of his diocese's more liberal parishes, was hissed by at least one parishioner during his sermon on Sunday.
The member disapproved of the text the Rt. Rev. Sauls had chosen to preach on -- Ephesians 5:21-33. The passage contains 2,000-year-old advice for marital couples, including this controversial command:
"Wives, be subject to your husbands as you are to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife just as Christ is the head of the church, the body of which he is the Savior. Just as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives ought to be in everything, to their husbands."
