Jesus himself is a "layman?"  

Your entire argument proves too much.  If I accept your argument at face value, why all the fuss?  We should not only not be ordaining women, we should not be ordaining men!  We should also not have an institutional church--and that means every self proclaimed "bishop" in the women's ordination conference and priest, together with the structure they set up should be torn down in keeping with Jesus non-hierarchical, non institutional Church!

Good gravy--you dissidents are so desperate to advance your agenda you don't pay attention to the fact that your arguments cut both ways.
