There's something in first Corinthians about keeping women silent that's usually the basis.And there's another one where their bodies aren't their own.
But, if I remember right, it's all OT stuff. Which has a lot more in common with Islam than some people think, including homosexuals, women, and odd food requirements.
Even though I had seen women in the ministry in the CoB, it is still a little weird with the Lutheran church I am attending and their female pastor (they have a man and a woman, weekly attendance is over 300). My wife and I are having dinner with her and her husband this evening, the invitation was "coffee, dinner, a beer, whatever" which, let me tell you, was freakin' weird. I mean, CoB and drinking was like oil and water. Even communion was with grape juice.
