When the United Methodist denomination removes the allowance of openly ordaining women, against scriptural prescription, then let’s talk.

especially United Methodism, is but a subset of that designation.

Yes, I agree with that. The UMC is one of the offshoots of the ministry of the Wesleys.

ordaining women

Pesonally, I think that female deacons are biblical.

The issue is female elders. I think proving female elders from the bible is impossible.

So, I'm interested in which gifts of the Spirit (from 1 Co 12-14 and Rom 12 are given to women) are given to women and which aren't.

Also, from the bible I'm interested in when women are not allowed to pray and when they are.
