  Very good synopsis of these passages and the context that goes with them.

  The comment about women not being allowed to be heard threw me through a loop. I've never heard of that before and knew it was clearly not IN the torah. I looked it up and came across a chabad article and a few other justifying this. I've lived my whole life singing and even lead worship at my small church half of the time. I can't fathom the perceived helplessness men must have to be unable to control their thoughts by hearing a woman praising God through the very talent He gave to her. It really helps to put into perspective how difficult this topic must be for gifted women who desire to teach God's word to others.

  Also interdependence is a great word to look at the relationship between men and women in the church. Interdependent mission and calling. Thank you!

  Now our Anglican Communion has got her a female Archbishop of Canterbury. Pray to our LORD for her that his Word may be truly preached and truly heard, and his Sacraments faithfully administered and faithfully received

  This guy is growing on me. &nbsp;Though I do have to wonder just when N.T. Wright found Jesus and women became human.
