My own church has no problem with this ~ our founder, “Alexander Campbell, himself, opposed female preaching, but reluctantly agreed that women did have a role in “the ancient order” of the church. In 1835 he wrote, “From Romans 16:1 and 1 Timothy 3:11, it appears that females were constituted deaconesses in the primitive church.” It followed, then, that they should have a place in the restored church.” ~ see: http://revjohnkc.blogspot.com/2009/09/stone-campbell-women.html That’s the First Century church ~ other bodies may well interpret Scripture differently.

So, if your church accepts women as being able to “preach” and/or be pastors, and/or teachers, does your church accept the office of rabbi (messianic) as being part of the New Covenant program? If so, does your church accept female rabbis (messianic)?
