  Thank you for giving us such a thorough and thoughtful review of the topic. I appreciate the depth of your research and how you laid-out the topic in its' historic context.  
  
  It is time for those so stridently crying-out their opposition to the ordination of women to realize they are fighting a battle they have already lost and that God has guided the structure and practices of the church much further in a direction other than what they think is right for them to change it. Like Satan in Heaven making claims against God under the guise of doing right, they are creating division in the church. Unity in the church requires their repentance, not their continued opposition.
