What did Paul mean when he said in 1 Timothy 2, "I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet"? Does this mean that a woman's role is inferior to that of a man, and won't this enable men to lord it over their female counterparts? This Mothers Day we take a close look at this and other passages to see what God would have us understand about roles, submission, the Trinity, community and our spiritual legacy.
