Hmmmm. Everytime I present a series of questions to Mark I seem to be ignored. Or maybe it is just that my little line of inquiry is overshadowed by weightier issues and scads of comments. But I am nothing if not persistent. I will try a third time.

Mark – what is special about formal church that makes it a setting where women teaching is inappropirate when the identical teaching by a woman in other settings would be deemed appropriate? For example – why can your wife teach you at home, but cannot present the identical teaching to you in formal church? What are the specific differentiators of church vs. other contexts that disqualify women from teaching in church but allow them to teach in those other contexts?
