Thank you for your thoughtful post, Ilana.  I have found that discussions
about the subject of hiring a maharat tend to get very personal because
those who support
shuls hiring a maharat are quickly accused of being agenda driven ... and
of not having
a recognized posek to support their halachic position.   The discussions
rarely focus on
the relevant halachic issues.

It's nice to hear someone who is willing to respect the other side...and
recognize that
the discussion is a machlokes l'sheim shamayim.
