none

Jeremy asked me “Are you egalitarian?”

“No,” I said, “I’m head/body.”
What is head/body like? Well it is not complementarian or egalitarian.

Complementarian is a master-servant relationship. Egalitarian is two colleagues.
Complementarian is two separate people, one ruling the other. Egalitarian is two separate people, co-leading somewhat democratically.

Head/body or headship is a mystery of two people becoming one, being lead by God, the Spirit. Complementarian and Egalitarian are modeled by governments and human institutions. Head/Body is modeled by the Father and Son.
