Mark,

I agree with Dave that the “church” is any collection of believers and that Christians “do church” in many different ways, both formal and informal. But, let me continue my line of questioning based on your definition. You still have not answered what it is about church that distinguishes it from other gatherings of believers that makes teaching by women improper in church yet proper in those other settings. For example, you say it is appropriate for your wife to teach you at home. What is it that distinguishes your home from church that would make such teaching in your home appropriate but make the very same teaching inappropriate at church?
