women pastors
Ladies leading congregations
Women pastors are female clergy who lead or minister in Christian churches.
The term appears most often in debates about whether women should hold pastoral authority—some denominations ordain women freely, while others restrict pastoral roles to men based on scriptural interpretation.
The church voted to allow women pastors after years of discussion.
