In 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, Paul wrote: “As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church” .

I think you need to examine the context of this scripture. It addresses a time and culture when men and women were separated during the worship service. When the women tried to “communicate” across the aisle it caused disruption in the worship service.

There are many women who are profound in their knowledge of the Christian faith and have made many contributions to our understanding of that faith. Everyone should be respectful and reverent during a worship service.

That being said I wouldn’t listen to HRC on matters of faith unless she had a profound change in that faith which I believe is long, long way from true Christianity.
