Re: Always in the Church, but not always in fellowship with the brethren
There is one other factor you have not considered (noticing the references to elderly women). Elderly women had some stature in the church above other women. God has a thing for using post menopausal women (e.g. Sarah, Elizabeth). A man can teach, a post-menopausal woman can teach (other women), younger women cannot teach (they are to learn from their husbands at home).
