I am beginning to understand some of the things you are all trying to say in these last few comments. Thank you. Can I restate some things to see if I am on the right track?

Virtually all acts of loving sacrificial service can in some way be considered leadership. It is impossible to draw a line and say some acts of service are not leadership but after that line they are. Therefore, women cannot be excluded from acts that involve leadership because they would then not be able to serve others at all.
“Authority” as defined @142 is not compatible with sacrificial service.
