Women as pastors seems like a slippery slope to all the other liberal nonsense.

My observation also.

What stance does a church with female pastors take on abortion, for example?

Every group that accepted priestesses or female pastors first accepted bc within marriage. Every time, as far as I can tell. Catholics, old order Mennonites, the Amish, independent Christians like the quiver full people, are the only ones that don’t buy it now. They all don’t have female clergy/leaders. At least so far.

But there are many groups that accept bc within marriage but have also never accepted women clergy or female leaders, and show no signs of ever doing so.

It might be a many mansions thing. Maybe.

There are simply TOO many problems with female clergy. If they have children, then their duty is REALLY to their babies.

Even the Anglican wives of Anglican priests have said that all priests SHOULD be single because they simply DO NOT have the time to be an effective
