BTTT. Sionnsar, This is difficult. For me it's a personal preference and I can give no logical perspective for it. I would prefer receiving Holy Communion from a male priest. I would prefer hearing a male priest give a sermon.

Yet I can see how others would feel comfortable with either female or male. I must draw the line when a priest's homosexual or aberrant heterosexual lifestyle is so blatant and public that one loses focus on the service.

The ordination of women has always been the point of Methodist doctrine upon which I have never been fully convinced. I wonder whether that means I can't be ordained in the UMC. X, do you know the policy on that?
