Hi Bridget,
Welcome to my blog!

There are different interpretations of verses 34 & 35 but there is one problem in the verses that has been a real challenge to complementarians. It is the reference to the “law” that silences women in the congregation. No one has ever found such a law in the Old Testament and there is no consensus on a verse that even “hints” at a prohibition. It is my belief that until we can understand where the law is located and who it is written to, we will not be able to understand the prohibition in verses 34 & 35.
