I would agree with you that the office of deacon as practiced in most churches is a position of authority.
I would also agree with you that the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood does indeed separate these criteria.
However, as I read Scripture, especially in 1Tim. Chapter 3, it talks about the "office of deacon" and unless I am misreading it, I see no Scripture warrant for women in the "office of deacon".

I have personally corresponded with the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood and they told me that they believe that it is ok for women to be in the "office of deacon".
They also believe that the NASB has the correct rendering of the Greek in 1Tim. 3:11, instead of the word "wives" as versions like the KJV, the Greek translates it "women". They believe that this gives warrant for women in the "office of deacon".

All of us whether women or men are called to be servants, but I don't believe that this is the same as being in the "office of deacon".

Do you see any warrant for women to be in the “office of deacon”?
