In all seriousness, would Calvinists flame you for this? Or are their differences of opinion?

NO

I believe that the Presbyterians may have woman as deacons.....(I think the liberal branch may ordain)

But it is a non issue here!

I agree. And I don't want to go off on a tangent. I have absolutely no desire to get into that debate. I was just curious.

For the record though, Reformed Presbyterians pretty much don't allow women to do anything without a "covering." Meaning no women elders, deacons, worship leaders, etc. Women can teach children, but cannot teach a class with men unless there is a "covering" (i.e. her husband, a pastor, an elder) present.
