In my experience, even ministers who opposed women as pastors would occasionally allow a woman to speak. My own father did that a few times.

My problem with this debate is that the "silence in the church" is usually only taken literally in reference to preaching, when in fact, Paul specifically mentioned teaching and nothing else. The same people who oppose women preaching are often fine with them singing, testifying, prophesying or teaching Sunday School classes. That's inconsistent.

If they are going to take the passage literally, it should be to ban women from teaching positions--but not from preaching, prophesying, evangelizing or prophesying. The "usurp authority" part is not a problem, because as long as you aren't acting on your own authority, you aren't out of line with that part of the scripture. It's the "silence" part of the passage that is problematic.

I have difficulty taking anyone seriously if they don't first apply their own interpretations and line of logic consistently.
