Pricilla (a woman) and her husband Aquila. Very very rarely is the wife mentioned first in the New Testament which would probably mean Pricilla was the main preacher in their home Church.
Rom 16:3 Give my greetings to Priscilla and Aquila, my co-workers in the ministry of Christ Jesus.
Rom 16:4 In fact, they once risked their lives for me. I am thankful to them, and so are all the Gentile churches.
Rom 16:5 Also give my greetings to the church that meets in their home. Greet my dear friend Epenetus. He was the first person from the province of Asia to become a follower of Christ.
This same husband-wife ministry team is mentioned in the Book of Acts......
Act 18:24 Meanwhile, a Jew named Apollos, an eloquent speaker who knew the Scriptures well, had arrived in Ephesus from Alexandria in Egypt.
Act 18:25 He had been taught the way of the Lord, and he taught others about Jesus with an enthusiastic spirit and with accuracy. However, he knew only about John’s baptism.
Act 18:26 When Priscilla and Aquila heard him preaching boldly in the synagogue, they took him aside and explained the way of God even more accurately.
A woman teaching a man, yea but that is ok outside the Church. Oh no, the Church is not a physical building for where there are two or three people gathered in Jesus' name that is where the Church is.

"Diakonos" is used many time in the NT. It means "a servant."
It is used several times unrelated to the position of "deacon."
History tells us that Phebe was a business woman who was of great value to the Church at Cenchrea.
Paul asks the Church at Rome "that you assist her in whatsoever business she has need of you."
It does not mean she was a "deacon" of the Church at Cenchrea.
Some years ago our Church had a major construction project. The pastor came to me because of my many years of supervisory experience, to oversee this project communicating to the pastor and the deacons what was taking place.
I gladly took on this project. I'm not a deacon, I'm just a servant of the Church as was Phebe, willing to do whatever I could do for my Lord.

Charlie Surely you know that the bible does not say that the woman is the weaker vessel.

I don't recall that and it wasn't an insult.
Correcting someone in that plus an insult is.
Back on topic. God is NOT misogynistic. The requirements for pastor/preacher/teacher are NOT mysogynistic.
No?
Not a good moral example but Hooters waitresses are women and rarely will you find a man seat and take your order. VERY rarely. The whole purpose of that business is cheap, bad food and women dressed like ***** and prostitutes.
Women's only sports? Men's only sports? We are built differently and in most sports we cannot compete against each other.
So many people find a problem with what God says and through an apostle no less.
Imagine a pastor being WRONG on something and then having to correct himself to the church and for recent years online. It is a VERY hard position.
Last I checked, no Christian can tell God, "I disagree," and will then act in contrary to what He says.

Hmmmm Maybe that's why so many pastors and so many churches are now false teachers....And why (it seems like) most christians are false teachers as well...they prefer the doctrines taught by demons to the Word.

And now I'm done discussing this topic...There are many who refuse to be taught by the Holy Spirit and insist on using their own intellect.
1 Corinthians 2:13-15
1 Corinthians 2:13-15
13 These are the things we are talking about when we avoid the manner of speaking that human wisdom would dictate and instead use a manner of speaking taught by the Spirit, by which we explain things of the Spirit to people who have the Spirit. 14 Now the natural man does not receive the things from the Spirit of God — to him they are nonsense! Moreover, he is unable to grasp them, because they are evaluated through the Spirit. 15 But the person who has the Spirit can evaluate everything, while no one is in a position to evaluate him.
You don't know the Scripture very well my friend.
1 Peter 3:7
"Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered."
Or I guess I should have said, you don't know the KJV very well.

1 Peter 3:7
7 You husbands, likewise, conduct your married lives with understanding. Although your wife may be weaker physically, you should respect her as a fellow-heir of the gift of Life. If you don’t, your prayers will be blocked.
Being physically weaker does not make her the weaker vessel...I've known men who were weak, several of them, who were propped up by strong women. The women were weaker physically but the men looked like children nonetheless beside the womanLOL, you're going to believe whatever you want, not going to argue the obvious fact that women are the weaker vessel.

LOL and obviously, you do not know women
LOL, when I was a younger man I thought I did! I'm just as confused on that now as ever!
I'm sorry to hear about your decline in health, I'll remember you in prayer.
