“You can no more ordain a woman than a pork pie.”

He’s right. The qualifications for church leaders and elders are “HUSBAND of one wife”, etc, etc...

It’s the same kind of thing with the gays trying to redefine a term to fit their agenda. They want to redefine marriage to something that it is not and never has been, and these people redefined what a leader of the church is supposed to be, into something it never was to be.

That does not mean women can’t have ministries, or teach sunday schools, or have their organizations that focus on certain things. But all of this should be occurring under a pastor/elder/overseer, who should be a good man of God. Not all men god set the criteria. Just like God set the criteria for others who served him (Levites). Priests could only be men from the Levite tribe, even though there may have been better male candidates from the other tribes. God has a right to set the qualifications for those who serve Him.
