>>As it relates to church leadership and to leadership in the home, women are to be submissive to men (according to my beliefs.) However, they are not worth less to God. They are not less important than men. They are not less valuable than men. Simply stated, their role in church leadership and in the home is to be submissive - much the same way I am to be submissive to my employer. That doesn't make me less valuable (as a person) than him, etc...

That God deemed it appropriate 2000 years ago for women to submit to men (without considering them inferior), but that He wants a new order today, due to changes in the general circumstances?

Since all that we know of God is revealed in His word (the Bible) and since there has been no new revelation on this topic (or any other for that matter,) I don't believe God has changed His mind on this one...
