… pagans like the Romans and Greeks, began to join. One issue was whether converts to the new Jewish sect (Christianity) would need to follow Jewish dietary laws, and in the case of men, become circumcised. The leaders, in the interests of proselytization, worked that out and ultimately decided not to impose those strictures.

During the early years, women became very attracted to the new teachings, both during Jesus’ lifetime and after. Their support became an important feature to the acceptance and growth of the fledgling sect. For instance, they would hold meals in their homes where all sat together and spoke as equals — male and female, slave and free, Jew and Greek.

The meaning of this passage in the Epistle (correspondence) of St Paul to the church (location uncertain) was that all are equal in the sight of God.
