Sunday School Curriculum Grade 10 concept of subordination is a matter of function between two persons of equal worth and not a matter of inferiority/superiority. God‘s people are called priests not to confer status but to commission all of them to declare His deeds of salvation. All Christians have been given the responsibility to live their Christian faith in their several callings, and share the faith and to judge all doctrine. Since a ―headship‖ over congregation is exercised through the office of the public ministry, the functioning of women in this specific office is precluded. Just as the wife should not be the head of the house, so a woman should not be the head over the household of God (1Timothy 3:12). Holy Scripture clearly excludes women from the office of the public ministry of Word and Sacraments, review the verses of 1Corinthians 11, 14, and 1 Timothy 2 which deal with woman‘s subordination, woman‘s silence in the church, and woman‘s exercise of authority. Can a woman become a priest or participate in public worship in the capacity of regarding the Scriptures? Since women should be silent in the church, then reading the Scriptures is more properly the function of the priests and the clergy. According to St. John Chrysostom, women have a considerable teaching role in the life of the Church, and in instilling Christian virtues and understanding to the children, whether they are their own biological offspring or other children in the church. After all, some of these children will eventually become the hierarchy in the Church. This is clearly seen with St. Anthusa, St. John Chrysostom‘s mother, and St. Macrina, the oldest sister of St. Basil the Great and St. Gregory of Nyssa; she was instrumental in the instruction of her brothers. St. John Chrysostom interprets St. Paul‘s saying, ―I do not permit a woman to teach‖ (1 Timothy 2:12) as prohibiting women from teaching in the Church during liturgical services in the place of the priest. But the influence of women in the instruction of children and even adults is important. Pricilla had a dominant role in the instruction of Apollos in the way of God (Acts 18: 24-28). A woman should be able to inspire, comfort and instruct those who experience her presence. This would affirm the description of a virtuous woman, whether she is single or married, a virgin or a mother. Besides being teachers of Christian Education and in the Sunday School, they can be members of parish councils, monasticism, counselors, administrators, and contribute to publications. They are encouraged to pursue theological studies both to deepen their own personal spiritual life and to serve the Church better. Conclusion: In Christianity, oneness with Christ is possible for those who live a life of purity and holiness, regardless of their gender. Each one has the potential, by God‘s grace, to be in communion with Christ, which is the highest goal for any human being to achieve. Every Christian individual possesses gifts, which contribute to the function of the body, and they ought to be joyfully and thankfully received. Thus, the Christian community will affirm the unique and differing gifts of women, seeking ways to enlist them more fully in the Church‘s life and work. But God did not call His Church into being and give gifts to His people so that they would be concerned about how they might become the greatest in the Kingdom. Since the life of every Christian is to be characterized by obedience and submission on some level. Any demand for ―rights‖ and ―power‖ is inappropriate. 136 PENTECOST PERIOD
