Delegates at the denomination’s convention approved a stricter ban on female pastors and rejected the appeals of two churches led by women to remain in the denomination.
Yikes. There is quite a pattern developing in the religious right, in the US at least. We are turning back the clock folks.
Well that’s sort of condescending. Age doesn’t make people inherently wiser, and a lack of belief in religion doesn’t imply naivete or inexperience–just a shortage of believable evidence. It’s actually far more naive to believe something without strong evidence, isn’t it?
Yeah, otherwise young people might start to think that women are somehow equal to men and all sorts of other crazy things. Gotta nip that stuff in the bud, right?
