I have a very high view of women (one gave birth to me ). For me the issue isn't about having a title like bishop. I think it's silly we have female pastors but don't afford them the same classification as men. My problem is that I don't see any scripture that supports female pastors of any sort. I'm sure that offends some because mom or grandma was a pastor but it's the truth. I'll make a comment that isn't biblical at all but I believe is relevant to the discussion. Some of the mainline denominations who have been strong in ordaining female pastors (Methodists, Presbyterians, etc) are now the very ones ordaining homosexual clergy and officiating their marriages. Some may see no correlation and it's ok for you to disagree with me.
