Nor should there be in the church. For Stuart the 1 Tim 2 passage arose from particular problems in Ephesus at that time. Its message has no direct authority beyond its immediate context. Stuart points to numbers of noted evangelical scholars and leaders who are pro-womens' ordination. He pleads for individual liberty for parishes within the diocese.
Individual parishes are free to decide about robes and childrens' communion.
He seeks the same liberty in regard to womens' ordination and he does this for the sake of mission to the world. Comment I offer five comments. Peter's exposition of his case depends on this text. In my view he has. The passage does say who should and who should not have the oversight of teaching in the church.
