[MR] Women and the Early Church

[Grace Morris]

It is important to remember that words such as ³heresies² are subject to the
teaching OF THE TIME.   Because the church is made up of people, the stance
of the church (any church) on an issue is subject to the political and
social climate of the time.  And who happens to be in power.  Context is
everything...
