Maybe the little girl grew up to be a Muslim. Good luck with that. Maybe she can write her own Bible.

There HAS NOT been a surge in female Baptist pastors. It has not been a thing in the SBC. Last year we saw Rick Warren come out for them and the SBC slapped him.

I remember a pastor who had an old wore out bible falling apart. When he wanted to make a point he would quote a passage from it, then say “Oh I don’t like that!” then pull the page out and drop it on the floor. Talk about getting everyone’s attention!
Of course he had another bible close at hand but he definitely got their attention when he did it.

Yeah....the conservative movement began in the late 70s with a move to re-establish control of the seminaries. Which sadly, had become very liberal.

IIRC professors had to affirm certain principles/beliefs to remain employed. One of these was rejecting homosexuality....that wiped out a number of them.

There were many who didn't like the conservative resurgence....but it was necessary.

And from what I read in various articles and such, it may be necessary again.

It's not just the large denominations. It's now common in many independent protestant churches that the pastor's wife automatically becomes a co-pastor by virtue of her marriage.

I see it a lot in black churches and in white churches that are on tv.

I think it's getting more attention which makes it seem there's a surge. The issue has been around for a long time.

We affirm the biblical truth

Apparently not, based on what comes after that opening sentence.

Looks like they should join the UMC.

“The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship was formed.”

You should check out the “CBF blog” if you haven’t.

“Baptists don’t have female preachers.”

Actual Baptists don’t. Apostate churches who co-opt the Baptist “brand” do a lot of weird and blasphemous things. Shameful.

[ealgeone]

I’d get banned for sure.

As a Holiness pastor I remember once sais, “Might as well close the church doors and write ‘ICHABOD’ over the front, for ‘the glory of the Lord has departed’!!”

Good. Getting rid of “churches” like this is exactly why why the Law amendment should be passed.

There are pastors. They are men. “Pastrix” is a pretend pastor.

[Mr Rogers]

Maybe “Trans-Pastor”?
