Female Pastors ? ?

If women can be good mothers, good teachers, good Prime Ministers or Presidents and good administrators, I do not see why women cannot be pastors . If they are capable of leading a nation or large corporations, why they cannot lead a congregation? Is there any difference between leading a nation and leading a flock ?


In some conservative religious groups, women are not allowed to become clergy.They may quote from the Bible to back up their claims.Since we are in this modern world where women are seeking equality in every fields, it is by right , that whoever can do the the job better will be appointed to that post irregardless of her gender .

~ Sometimes we forget that ministry is God's business. It's not a man's business. God gives gifts to whomever He sees fit.~

There are independent churches which have appointed female pastors to lead the congregations and they are doing very well.Some faith traditions take a literal approach to the texts that prohibit women from ordination,

Different religious communities have different perspectives on their clergy. You cannot change their way of thinking and since you can join any church of your own free will, you could either go to a church lead by man or a lady pastor .

There are bound to be different interpretations of the Bible which has given rise to many denominations and sects. I think we should just leave that question to God and let whoever is more gifted or have leadership qualities to be the Shepard of that flock ,be it a man or a woman.

Sometimes we forget that ministry is God's business. It's not a man's business. God gives gifts to whomever He sees fit. In many churches , there are more women than men and many women are providing the leadership and if without their involvement and contributions of women, the church would not grow.
I would not like to argue with those who are against women pastors. Let God be the judge.
