New Study Reveals What Americans Think of Women Pastors
by Anugrah Kumar , Christian Post:
A newly released report by Barna Group reveals that evangelicals in the United States find it more difficult to embrace the presence of female leadership in the Christian ministry than other Protestants and Catholics do.
Only 39 percent of evangelicals, as defined by Barna, are accepting of a female priest or pastor, according to the Christian research group’s report, titled “What Americans Think About Women in Power,” which was released on Women’s Day.
The percentage of those accepting a leadership role for women in the ministry increases to 62 percent among “practicing Christians,” 74 percent among Protestants, and 80 percent among Catholics.
