In regards to the recent thread here, and some issues I've been dealing with in real life, some of the specifics of women's roles in the church have been troubling me. Issues like:

- Can a woman lead the singing/worship in a church service?

- At our church after communion each Sunday, we bring forth prayer requests and have people from the congregation pray for them. Is it appropriate for a woman to pray in this context? (A man is still leading the service.)

-Where do we draw the lines between teaching or taking authority in a church service, and simply sharing (i.e. testimony, etc.)? Does such a line exist?

I'm curious what others think about these issues, and how the Scriptures apply.
