Your memory serves you well, FK. Kawaii is correct in raising these issues because we seem to have double standards when it comes to Scripture: if it clashes with popular notions and habits, we go with the notions and habits and dispense with or ignore the Scripture.
Traditional Orthodox churches have women stand on the left and men on the right (my Serbian church does, but women are covered only when they receive communion, and even then not all!).
But if you go to a monastery it is done 'right.' In Serbia, most women are covered. It seems the more 'urban' and trendy (i.e. western) the area the less observant will the women be.
Clearly western Protestantism is the source of this 'abolition' of scriptural prohibition for women to preach in church/public places.
Kawaii is certainly not speaking for all Orthodox churches; there is not a single Orthodox church where even the Divine Liturgy or the church arrangement is exactly the same. :)
You had to get in a shot, didn't you. :) I'm not positive, but I think it's correct that you can't look to any Reformed posters you know on this thread about this issue. I can only "unofficially" speak for SBC, and to date I'm unaware of any women senior pastors anywhere.
I agree with you that none of our churches passes every test of "the rules" perfectly. That's why I don't think it's right to make a federal case out of Reformed churches not mandating that women be covered artificially (i.e. with a veil), the way Kawaii has been. That verse isn't even crystal clear as to interpretation anyway, as 1000 S has demonstrated.
