I agree. I believe women are one of the most important aspects of the church. I know and have seen them work harder than many men in the ministry that bare the tile of either deacon or elder. But, hard work and ministry do not make a woman a deaconess--this is just a game of semantics that the PCA and others attempt to play. I am unsure but I believe the ARP now allows deaconess' and gives each individual church the option to ordain and not to ordain, which is where I am afraid the PCA is headed as well.
