Accordingly, women are not to rule or to lead or to preach in Christian congregational worship — no matter how much women do lead and instruct in the surrounding pagan society of the time. Rather are Christian women — and especially those confused men in the congregation who might otherwise permit the women to lead and to preach — to “acknowledge that the things which I [viz. the Apostle Paul] am writing unto you, are Commandments of the LORD.” I Cor. 14:36.
WOMEN AND CHURCH ELDERSHIP
– 10
For even when merely praying in the congregation, women are to do so only in ways that clearly signify their acknowledgement of male leadership in the worship services. I Cor. 11:3-10,15. This is the thin end of the wedge. Where this requirement is transgressed — greater errors are sure to follow.
