The Old Testament, which contained, in seed, all the principles of the New, allowed no regular church office to any woman. When a few of that sex were employed as mouthpieces of God, it was in an office purely extraordinary, and in which they could produce a supernatural attestation of their commission. No woman ever ministered at the altar, as either priest or Levite. No female elder was ever seen in a Hebrew congregation. No woman ever sat on the throne of the theocracy, except the pagan usurper and murderess, Athaliah. Now…this Old Testament principle of ministry is carried over to a degree in the New Testament where we find the Christian congregations with elders, teachers, and deacons, and its women invariably keeping silence in the assembly.

TOPPING
The traditional French dish takes days to prepare and contains a generous
portion of high-fat meats. By using sausage only, preparation time, fat and
calories are all cut down without sacrificing flavour.
In large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat; cook sausage, onions,
garlic,  carrots, celery, thyme, pepper and cloves, stirring, for about 5
minutes or until onions are softened. Add tomatoes, breaking up with fork.
Add chicken stock and bay leaf; bring to boil. Add beans; reduce heat and
simmer  for about 30 minutes or until slightly thickened. Discard bay leaf.
[Can be prepared to this point, cooled, covered and refrigerated for up to
1 day. Or freeze for up to 1 week; thaw in refrigerator for up to 36 hours.
Add 45 minutes to 1 hour to baking time.]
Topping: In saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic; cook for
about 2 minutes or until softened. Stir in bread crumbs and chopped
parsley; sprinkle over cassoulet. Bake in 350F 180C oven for about 30
minutes or until crusty and golden on top, bubbly and heated through.
