It says in 1 Timothy 2, "Let the women keep silent in the churches," and what it is talking about is the order of the church. In fact, 1 Timothy, is written to give order to the church. When the church comes together in its formal time, when a church comes together to break bread, when a church comes together to be taught the Word of God, it is not the woman’s place to stand up and take authority in the church, but when individual Christians sit together to share around the Word of God, that is a marvelous opportunity for women to participate. In fact, the Psalmist said, "A great host are the women who publish the good news." And, so, we encourage women to share their insights in the Word of God, to be a part of the fellowship of a Bible study, the discussion of a Bible study. That is a very important thing, but when it comes to the church and its worship and order, there is no place for a woman to take the authority to teach in the church. That is not her God-given role.
