Puritan Board Freshman
**If this belongs somewhere else, please feel free to move it!**
Situation:
Lord's Day services include two worship services (morning and evening) and a Sunday school class for all adults. There is only one adult SS class, so it always includes both genders.
Sunday School differs from the worship service in a few ways:
* No congregational prayer except to open and close. We pray for other churches and members of our body and the gov't etc during worship.
* There is not a weekly consecutive Scripture reading in SS the way there is in the worship service.
* The lesson is usually topical rather than an expository sermon on one main passage of the Word.
* Sometimes people in the congregation will be asked to read verses or answer questions from the elder teaching the class.
* Questions/discussion are invited from the congregation
My questions:
In this setting, is it appropriate for women to speak?
Read the Scripture verses?
Answer the questions?
Ask questions?
