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.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a saute pan, brown the butter with 1 1/2 cups of the figs and the
sugar. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat
and pour into a food processor with a metal blade. Puree the mixture
for 1 minute. Add the vinegar and process for 30 seconds. With the
machine running, slowly add the vegetable oil until the dressing is
emulsified. Season the dressing with salt and pepper. Fold in the
reserved figs. Pour the dressing into a saucepan and warm the
dressing.
Remove the crust from the brioche and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. In a
medium mixing bowl, toss the croutons with the olive oil. Season with
salt and pepper. Place on baking sheet and bake until golden, about 8
to 10 minutes. Remove, cool and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the greens with desired amount of the
dressing.
Mound the greens in the center of each plate. Arrange the quartered
figs, ham and croutons around the greens. Crumble the cheese on top
of the greens. Garnish the salad with cracked pepper around the rim
of the plate.
