MORE female priests? ONE would be a refutation of a 1000 years of RCC policy, so don't hold your breath.

I'm going to assume you're not Catholic.

You're New World cousins the Episcopal Church beat you too it by almost 40 years. Suck it, Old World!

Judaism has been formally ordaining women since at least 1935 (Regina Jonas, Germany, murdered by the Nazis in 1944), and has had women acting as rabbis for over 400 years (Asenath Barzani, Iraq, 1600s CE, taught at and administrated a yeshiva). As usual, what a denomination of Christianity does, the Jews beat them to by several centuries.

@3: Which denomination of Judaism is that?

Rather convenient that God only requires a 2/3 majority to change divine law.

@3 reform, since orthodox are - well orthodox! And reform has formally accepted gay and lesbian members at least since the 80s, if not earlier!

@4 oops should be #4 some conservative congregations also accept gay and lesbian members

@7: Most female rabbis are Reform or from splinter denominations, but Conservative congregations have been ordaining some recently. The Orthodox tradition, though, for women to sometimes act as rabbis but to technically have different titles (more along the lines of a teacher than a judge), such as Ms. Barzani above.

Please wait...
