Women in Church

I think this is a very important topic that so many people have misconceptions or not-fully-formed conceptions about.

Thoughts on the subject by N.T. Wright

For my part, I don't recall any passages that specifically tell women to submit to men other than in the context of husband-wife relationships.

A woman asking a man out doesn't seem to set quite the right tone for a marriage in which the woman is submitting.
