When a local congregation of the church of Christ comes together for a public service there is a point at which the audience is called to order and a point at which it is dismissed. All that transpires between this calling to order and dismissing the crowd is to be considered as in the church. At some point a brother will call the audience to order. It may be with an announcement, a song, a prayer etc. Once the audience is called to order, the women cease to talk.
Tongue speaking is regulated in the event that foreigners are present and wish to speak.
Simultaneous teaching is forbidden. Confusion is not allowed. Common meals must not be eaten. Because the Scriptures teach that such is not to go on in the church. The first problem we might consider is that of women teachers.
