Without stating an opinon myself, there is a long essay on why it is ok for women to be ministers here: http://www.bible.com/answers/awomemin.html

I am not endorsing it, just trying to add to the discussion.

Sincere thanks, but I think I'll skip it. Call me old-fashioned, but I think women have absolutely no place in leadership -- especially in leadership of a church. It's a violation of nature, not that anyone really cares about that anymore in our feminized culture.
