I find it hard to believe that there was already a law of the land in place dictating how people should act or speak inside christian churches.
Perhaps the law of the land at the time was speaking to how women should behave in society in general.
I've been in one or two churches and in every one women were allowed to speak.
I guess in your view the Christian leadership got it all wrong.
My point is that regardless of the past, women today are in fact allowed to speak in most churches and "I" don't see any contradiction in that.
You can see whatever you wish. In my view its a good thing we have this ability to make choices cause. Thanks to free will I'm not stuck with your opinion.
