We’ve been seeing women in ministry in many different denominations where it would be interesting to statistically evaluate how often pastors refer to the scriptures and teach from them, both sexes. How many references or commentaries on scripture, theological teachings of the faith community, practical guides, ect.
The leftist UMC meetings are almost ALWAYS run by a female pastor, who expresses disinterest in Scripture and absolute contempt for the UMC Book of Discipline (the official doctrine of the group.) The meetings are always based on deferral to 'feelings' and put all things 'gay' front and center, including announcements of plans to march in some upcoming "pride" parade or event. There is nothing biblical discussed. No opening prayer is ever offered. It's all "ME!"
The more conservative UMC congregations, those which ultimately disaffiliate, are always staffed by MEN, and the discussions are always preceded by prayer beseeching God to guide them and their decisions. Scripture is held in high regard, as is the Book of Discipline.
I think there is a solid basis for excluding women from pastor ministry.
