Women Must Hold No Church Role With Authority Over Men, Not Even Deacon
The early church had a separate office of deaconess (Rom. 16:1), but this was not an instance of women sitting on the deacon board.
In Douglas Wilson’s own words: 1 quote from 2024, from Blog & Mablog, cited to the source.
They must not be ministers, elders, or deacons. The early church had a separate office of deaconess (Rom. 16:1), but this was not an instance of women sitting on the deacon board. Their service in the church was strictly limited to women and children or, in Phoebe’s case, delivering a letter to the Roman church.
