The Washington-based evangelical megachurch Mars Hill is shutting (some of)
its doors. Following controversy over founder Mark Driscoll’s well-
documented homophobic and sexist remarks, church officials announced over
the weekend that they would be closing several of Mars Hills 15 Pacific
Northwest branches, citing financial difficulties caused by “negative media
attention.” Several staff and clergy members have also been laid off. At
the end of last month, Driscoll himself announced that he would be taking a
six-week-long leave of absence.
According to Pastor Mark Dunford, who was recently laid off from Mars Hill’
s Portland branch, his dismissal comes in the wake of calls for Driscoll’s
resignation, as well as Dunford’s denouncement of the founder for
instilling a “lack of transparency” and “culture of fear” within the
church ranks. A recent New York Times profile of Driscoll also reports
accusations of “plagiarizing, of inappropriately using church funds and of
consolidating power to such a degree that it has become difficult for anyone
to challenge or even question him.”
For some time the tide has been turning against Driscoll, who has made a
spectacle of himself over the years with his anti-LGBT, anti-woman remarks,
many of which he has espoused as key elements of his theology. Preaching
theological “complementarianism,” in which women are considered men’s
followers and subordinates, Driscoll has expressed a belief that women
should always be submissive. According to one report, the pastor once
instructed a female congregant to get on her knees and apologize to her
husband for failing to bend to his will, then give him a blow job.
The advice fits in with Driscoll’s long-apparent, disturbing view of women,
examples of which Wenatchee the Hatchet unearthed and posted last month. In
a 2001 blog post under the pen name William Wallace II, Driscoll blatantly
asserts his patriarchal understanding of women’s role in the world,
essentially calling them “penis homes”:
The first thing to know about your penis is, that despite the way it may
seem, it is not your penis. Ultimately, God created you and it is his penis.
You are simply borrowing it for a while.
While His penis is onLOAN you must admit that it is sort of just hanging out
there very lonely as if it needed a home, sort of like a man wondering the
streets looking for a house to live in. Knowing that His penis would need a
home, God created a woman to be your wife and when you marry her and look
down you will notice that your wife is shaped differently than you and makes
a very nice home.
Oh, and in case you’re a dude who finds yourself thinking that your hand or
maybe another dude would make for a good home, here’s some Driscoll-
authored homophobia to counter that thought:
Therefore, if you are single you must remember that your penis is homeless
and needs a home. But, though you may believe your hand is shaped like a
home, it is not. And, though women other than your wife may look like a home
, to rest there would be breaking into another man’s home. And, if you look
at a man it is quite obvious that what a homeless man does not need is
another man without a home.
Driscoll’s rise to fame and success at Mars Hill came as a result of such
inflammatory comments, which were once seen as revolutionary for their
boldness. But, as it seems many people are coming to realize, calling women
“penis homes” isn’t revolutionary. It’s a ludicrous articulation of
sexist, patriarchal ideals that have been dominant for centuries, and worthy
of widespread public scorn.
