I have run across both liberal and conservative female priests and deacons, as well as men of both persuasions. I do not believe that God prefers females as priests, but I heard a teaching once that put it in some perspective for me, and it was given by a male priest. It is God's ideal that spiritual leaders should be men, but he pointed out that many men are not listening to God nor hearing the call, leaving a void that needs to be filled. Women who make themselves available are being called to fill that void. After all, God used Balaam's ass to communicate His message. Does that mean that an ass is the best means of getting God's word out? Of course not. But if it is all that's available, God will use it.
There are doubtless those in ministry, both male and female, whose presence there have nothing to do with a call of God, but a godly woman can be an effective leader, and arguably a better one than a liberal male who preaches a social gospel from the pulpit.

I have a husband/wife (spouse/spouse) liberal pastor team at my ELCA church. They both use hyphenated last names....his first, then hers. She is the one listed in the phone book too. He is the bigger of the feminists and she is a lefty nazi. Female pastors at left wing churches are very agenda driven....stay in the congregation and help the sheep.
