Should a Woman Teach?

The answer to whether a woman should teach or pray audibly during the public worship of the church is answered by the Apostle Paul in these verses. She should remain silent. But a woman can teach in other situations appointed for her and permitted to her as she shows submission to her husband and the elders of the church. A woman should not teach and exercise authority over a man in the local church; therefore she should not become the pastor of a church. But she can help in teaching in the home and Sunday School and situations where she is under the authority of her husband and her pastor. She thus will fulfill her God-given role if she will pursue godliness in this way of her submissive service to Christ and to His word in regard to her role.
