My first thought was to ask why they did't ask her to teach a class for women only. However, her lack of submission to the authority of those called by God to shepherd the church suggests a deeper issue. I applaud the pastor and church board for following the clear teaching of the Scriptures rather than political correctness.

That said, it is important to point out that a difference in roles and responsibilities for women and men in the local church does not translate into a difference in value. Jesus Christ willingly submitted His will to that of the Father. Christ's submission to the Father did not decrease His value nor His deity. I suspect that the pastor and church board would agree with this statement.

Right on all accounts
