Woman Pastors

Prominent Southern Baptist theologians released a statement last week, clarifying the meaning of the word “pastor” as it has come up for debate recently.

A female AME pastor has finally been let into her church after congregants locked her out of the building for months because of her gender.

The latest release of the Presbyterian Church USA Research Services’ Minister Survey found that nearly 60 percent of female clergy in the Presbyterian Church have experienced gender-based discrimination.

A committee that determines whether churches are conforming to Southern Baptist Convention affiliation rules will consider whether the prominent Saddleback Church can continue in fellowship with the SBC after church leaders recently ordained three women pastors.

In an interview with Religion News Service, Bible teacher Anne Graham Lotz shared that she would "never come out against women being ordained," though she does not believe that she has been called to be a minister. 

Saddleback, a California megachurch associated with the Southern Baptist Convention, recently appointed three female pastors. This drew backlash from SBC president J.D. Greear, who advised that the church needs to "stand on the bedrock of God's Word."

Saddleback Church in California recently celebrated the ordination of three women pastors.

A new survey suggests that most Evangelical protestants support women having leadership positions in the church.

Despite pastors threatening to boycott a major pastors conference over a scheduled spoken word performance by female teaching pastor Hosana Wong, the Southern Baptist Convention is seemingly standing by Wong.

Let me begin by saying that I know and appreciate many women who have been recognized as pastors. They are diligent, steadfast, and hard-working. Our country has done a great disservice to women over the years by not elevating and supporting women in roles of leadership.
