The Bristol University Christian Union is only following dogma created by St Paul. If all Christians actually followed their dogma then the cults would die out in two generations and Christianity would then truly be a philosophy.
Incidentally, how many student members of a student Christian Union are likely to be married anyway? What the union is doing seems to be little different to putting a muzzle on all the woman members…

The “dogma” from Paul on the matter is highly suspect and probably a forgery.

It appears that the BUCU has changed its mind:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/dec/05/bristol-university-christian-union-female-speakers
They say they are “utterly committed to reflecting the core biblical truth of the fundamental equality of women and men”
Well, of course! How could we ever have doubted them?
