Should women be ordained?
This topic was mentioned (briefly) over in this thread, and I would be interested in hearing what other people have to say about it.
What does your religion say about women (or, for that matter, men) being ordained? Do you agree or disagree with the stance? (And if you disagree, are you able to easily reconcile being in that faith while it takes that positition?) Since this topic can be quite touchy for some people, let's make the Official Weapondry of the thread pillows, as opposed to angry comments. (For example *so-and-so disagrees with such-and-such, so they toss a pillow at them*.)

Being as how I am an ordained interfaith minister, I would have to say, yes. There are more women in the ministry these days. I think its widely accepted in the Christian religion, except for the Catholic Church. Are there any women Rabbi's yet?

Women often played just as important a role in the religion of Native American society as men did...of cource you cant generalize too much as there are more than 300 different tradidions/cultures/religions ammong Native Americans so if you look you can find some one who believed in just about anything.
 Creator picks who creator picks as far as I'm concerned. Man, woman whatever, its what is in thier spirit that counts. wa:do

A good question would also be, "Why not?"

I think that women have every right that men do. This is a touch subject for my sister because she is very religous and could possibly become a priest if the faith allowed. This may be a better question for any of you ordained in the Catholic Church! Are any of you?

No Orthodox rabbis who are women, I don't think, and I dunno if Conservative Jews have rabbis who are women either, but Reform Jews certainly do. So, yeah, I think it's a good thing, that both women and men can be ordained. I don't see why not, personally. Yay, pillows! But no one's said anything I disagree with yet. *sulks* I want to throw pillows at someone! *throws pillows at all of you for annoying me by not annoying me* You sneaky, sneaky people, you. Sorry. I'm on the sugary Kerns drinks again. It does stuff to me brain

The minister at my UU church is a woman. I can't see any reason why women should not be ordained.

I have also known women who have been ordained and the spitirual value that they have contributed to their congregation. I would think that any religion who does not recognize the attributes and perspectives that women can share to any organization does not TRULY K(NOW) GOD.
TRUE GOD fact 12. GOD does not hold ONE entity higher than the other, every entity (spiritual, physical, animal, plant) is equal.
