How the presence of women church leaders has grownStudents pray at the opening of a women's ministry class at the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas in 2021. However, numbers across different denominations reveal the same pattern: More women in training, more women being ordained. How women can change the church that isPeople at a pro-women ordination demonstration in New York City, circa 1970.

☆ What’s at Stake as Southern Baptists Move to Bar Women Pastors
  + stars: | 2023-06-13 | by ( Colbi Edmonds | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
The Southern Baptist Convention, a denomination that is often a bellwether for evangelical America, has expelled five churches from the convention this year over their appointment of women as pastors. The move to enforce a strict ban against women in church leadership comes as some evangelicals fear a liberal drift in their congregations and a departure from Scripture. On Tuesday, two of those churches, Fern Creek Baptist Church in Louisville, Ky., and Saddleback Church in Southern California, appealed their expulsions before thousands of delegates at the annual convention in New Orleans. At the same time, ultraconservatives were moving to amend the S.B.C. constitution to further restrict the role of women in leadership, by stating that a church could be Southern Baptist only if it “does not affirm, appoint or employ a woman as a pastor of any kind.”
