Transition to deacons: eldership is male; deacons are the question

Mike states his conclusion so far: women were not to have the position of elder (to be strengthened further when he covers 1 Timothy 2 in a future video). The question now is whether women could be deacons. He notes that not only do egalitarians affirm this, but many complementarians also agree, citing widespread female deacons throughout early church history.
