Hm. How is prayer-leading less "authoritative" than Scripture reading?
I don't buy the "authoritative" vs. "non-authoritative" teaching distinction - t'aint no such thing. Teaching is authoritative by its very nature.
And, since you claim they exist, can you show an example of a woman leading prayer for a congregation of God's people in gathered worship (or otherwise?)?
