Sure, they couldn't take part in some part of church leadership but if they were living a Godly life, they were considered part of the church and were respected for that.

Isn't this the point of this thread?

The "THEY" I was speaking of were the women who weren't living according to the standards. Other women who were capable and were living up to the church guidelines as far as standards and other things were concerned certainly held leadership positions.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn't make things clear enough.
