Thousands of Southern Baptists overwhelmingly voted Wednesday to advance a formal ban on women pastors in the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, sending a clear message that men alone should preach to these conservative evangelical congregations.
Considering the vote was over 2/3 in favour of the motion, a lot of women would have voted in support of it. I don’t support it, but I’m also not a baptist.
🤣 You think they let women vote
…and you’re especially not a Southern Baptist, the most fundamentalist mainstream flavor of the baptists. The Bible says a lot of things, and every sect picks and chooses favorites, in this case there’s a verse about not permitting a woman to teach or hold authority over a man that’s probably relevant.
Its not surprising to me at all. Christianity is a patriarchal religion the same way all Abrahamic religions are. It’s like kind of the point.
Yet, many Jewish sects have female rabbis.
Many Christian sects also have female leaders. The Episcopal Church comes to mind as one of the bigger ones. The Southern Baptists would say Episcopalianism is not Christianity, though. Hell, I think that’s even their stance on Catholicism.
Episcopalians are the wealthiest sect of Christianity, they value education and intellectualism, like the many Jewish sects do.
In other words, they are godless heathens…
Without doing any research, I would say you are correct. They generally have a problem with Catholic saints, among other things.
