"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." (I Corinthians 14:34-35)
In his letter to the Corinthians Paul makes clear and delineates the importance of woman recognizing her place. However, I've visited several churches of different denominations which allow women to orate despite this passage. How do Christians reconcile this?
