One in 10 U.S. churches employs a woman as senior pastor, double the percentage from a decade ago, according to a new survey by the Barna Group.
Most of the women — 58% — work in mainline Protestant churches, such as the United Methodist Church, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and Episcopal Church; only 23% of male senior pastors are affiliated with mainline churches, the survey said.
The UMC and its forerunner has ordained women for five decades; the ELCA and its predecessor has for almost 40 years, and the Episcopal Church has ordained women since 1976.
Oh cool! What does the Bible say about the subject? Or does that matter?
Since when do so-called christians care about what the bible says? If you read it, you could see the moral depravity in the lack of animal sacrifices seen today.
My point is that people change religion to be convenient for their lifestyle. We would still be in the dark ages otherwise.
Religion, stymieing humanity since 30,000B.C.
