a truce in the gender debates

A comment on the preceding post has led me to ponder several times about what a truce in the gender debates might look like. We have experienced some truces among people of faith in the past over issues which divided them (age of baptism, charismatic gifts, acceptability of slavery for people today, etc.). Perhaps it would be possible for there to be a similar kind of truce for the gender debates.

What might a truce in the debates over the roles of women in the home and church look like? How might each side remain true to its convictions while speaking differently about the other side from how it does today? What might each side want to be able to accept a truce?

Dream big.
