How can you support women in ministry when it not only runs against scripture but also tradition too?

[@kenschenck]

Women in ministry doesn't run counter to Scripture. A verse like 1 Timothy 2:12 can't be interpreted apart from the actual practice of the early church, where Junia was an apostle, Phoebe was a deacon, and Priscilla discipled Apollos. That verse can't mean what you think it means and there are no other verses. Evidence from the early centuries of the church (e.g., inscriptions) also shows that the absolute prohibition of women was a later development, like the rule that priests have to be celibate.

@@kenschenck - Paul’s mandate in 1 Tim isn’t something that can change with culture. Paul ties women not being able to preach back to Genesis. Regarding church history, give me any church father the refers to female pastors in charge of congregation

I agree with your quadrilateral, I disagree with your application of it.
