I thought that Dr. Roger Nicole was a good conservative Reformed scholar. He got a PhD from Harvard and is an expert on Amyraldianism. Recently, I read a good essay by him as part of a chapter in a book entitled: "Scripture and Truth".
Well, I discovered that he is a supporter of "Christians for Biblical Equality". This organization seeks to promote equality among gender, race and class. Unfortunately, they push their ideas to the extreme and support women in office (they believe women have the right to become pastors, missionaries, etc.)
You can check it out at the following link: Christians for Biblical Equality (CBE) Equipping men and women, in church, home and society – Member discounts on books and other resources, help with chapters and finding an egalitarian church - Serving by Giftedness, Not by Gender - Galatians 3:28.
Here is an essay written by one of their "theologians" which attempts to exegete the case for women in the minitry, along with other things:

I find it shocking that a sound calvinist like Dr. Nicole would support that kind of liberal protestantism, but I guess we have seen the same thing with other guys like J.I. Packer signing the ECT accord.
Does anyone know if Nicole supports only certain aspects that organization or if he actually endoses women in the ministry? I guess that by signing the manifesto, he must be in support of the whole thing.
