Next is the Presbyterate rank, which is made up of all the priests. The third and final is the deaconate rank, which is a subordinate rank in the hierarchy of orders in the Coptic Orthodox Church.

The practice of celibacy is an old age religious practice to which men, desiring to serve a higher power by joining religious orders, commit their lives. Although very controversial in the religious world today, celibacy ranks high in the life of many priests. Many people relate chastity to celibacy; however it is not the same concept.

The Theological Arguments For and Against the Ordination of Women to the Priesthood " Women should be kept silent in the churches, for they are not allowed to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says .'' (Corinthians 14: 34-35.) Does St.Paul give an interpretation of the culturally conditioned views of his period, or that of Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
