I'm troubled by your statement.  There is no debate and no argument that the
context in this passage is that it is in the context of public worship and
least that I'm aware of.  I have heard no scholar deny that this is the
case.  I've been reading through many of your posts in the last month.  And
it appears, that you are very fixated on defending certain distinctions
between "laity" and "clergy."  It appears there is no point in having a
discussion with you that comes even close to putting that distinction in
trouble even bringing clear and explicit texts and context into the
argument.  I'll give you the last word.
