When and where did the Catholic Church start? Christianity is following Jesus the Son of God, Christ. Faith in him, to come to God in restoration for relationship, which there is with repentance and turning from sin, comes ahead of anything, and does not depend on church, any church. Where believers gather, for sharing among each other with prayer and worshipping together, is very valuable, but still it does not contribute to getting saved which comes to start with, when any respond to God when God opens the truth to them. And there is need for the Bible as knowing what Jesus did and what he does and what Jesus said is most important to believers, with the will of God shown for us. Women are not separate from any others in that or in what things they are called to do, from that.
