I dont have any problem with it...in Islam we believe that women are the sole caretakers of life...mothers. Being a mother is the "foundation of community" as it is stated in the Qur'an several times, and a foundation of community is the highest leadership position. But of course, in this post feminist revolution world, no one believes that to be a blessing, so yes, I do and Islam does, believe that women can be apart of government, and spiritual leadership...Most of the Arab world does as well....dont believe me look at the polling data. Even if they dont exercise it, they believe it.

Women can be just as good of a salesperson as there male counterpart, however the women that go to church want a strong, firm male to lead them, so women are mostly used as a side kick in old religions
It could work in new wave religions, with a dominate, but yet compassionate women
It really just depends on their acting skills and how much nerve they have, because people are gullible and want so much for little children to stay little children and with the male pastor/priest the women feel more comfortable

To those comments above: Oy some men still live old school, how hypocritical is it that women all of the sudden are inferior to men in their "religion" and they say Jesus loves you, God bless you, oh I can help you with whatever you need etc. I dont even think you even know what love is?! Women can be used by God just as well as men aren't we all created equal?! I Its a shame that "christians" take one part of the bible and not the other. God used Ruth, Mary, Rebecca, and many other women. I feel so sorry for the women that are bound under that manmade "law" its a shame.

I don't see why not. Church's have sent women out to the mission field for years. They certainly had to take on a leadership roles in those venues.

dear mr. dons just because you wish you had cajones does not make you a man. and before the turn to common era of patriarchy and three thousand years before that women were religion, they were priestesses and were the line to the throne they are the life bearers while men simply beare seeds, they were the huntress while man toiled in the garden, its Constatines abhorrent war that shifted the control of power from the almighty mother to the father

I do believe that it states right in the Bible, women are not to teach other then to children. I am a firm believer of this.

I have no problem with it. The pastor and his wife preach together at my church all of the time. They can do just as good as some of the men can.

Women were not created to lead anyone but children.
