I disagree with his opinion but was just providing a bit of trivia.
If I recall correctly, there were female deaconesses (Priscilla I thought was one). Now female ELDERS are a different and unbiblical modern aberration. I really do not see the problem with female deacons (and yes women assisting women would be the preferrable role).
