A Southern Baptist pastor spearheading a drive to ban women from serving as church leaders has released a report noting 170 women in pastoral jobs in violation of the denomination’s men-only doctrine.
report
According to his research, 51 women hold the title of “senior pastor,” “lead pastor” or “pastor.” Another 20 are listed as “associate” or “assistant” pastor, and 47 hold titles as “children’s pastor” or “youth pastor.” Eleven women are listed as “worship pastor” and 12 as “elder,” while 35 have “other” titles with a pastoral role.
With 13.7 million members, the SBC is the nation’s largest Protestant denomination. According to its doctrinal statement, the office of pastor is “limited to men qualified according to Scripture.” “This was not a scientific or a statistical study, even so, what is revealed is that the numbers are not decreasing, they are increasing,” the posting reads.
