When I was a newborn Christian, I can remember someone giving me a Bible Study, (Apostolic couple)...somehow, we ended up touching on this verse of scripture, and this is how it was taught to me.
Hopefully I can convey this in the right way...
I Cor 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
36 What?!? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
It all becomes so much clearer when you say that word 'what' in the right way, with the right attitude!

If one reads the passage, it's clear that Paul was addressing problems in the church. He said WHAT??? about a few issues.

I sometimes joke and kid some of you all about this subject but let me seriously say IF I believed a woman could not preach based on that scripture neither would I let her minister in song or teach even the babies class...for before the baby is born most already know what sex their baby is...
I have been to churches where the most humble lady minister was not wanted but the song leaders Mostly sisters screamed and worshiped all over the platform...
If it would be wrong for me to tell a witchdoctor how to be saved and TEACH him the way to heaven then it is surly wrong to have a ladies voice ministering in any way and that includes working in the alter...
If the female voice is silent then we would have no story to even preach for men only repeat a story first told by the women.
I think 1 COR.14 :34,35 was written to an unruly faction of women in the church.Because 1 COR. 14 deals with order in church services and the proper usage of the gifts.
