Christian Denominations & Women

[Anonymous]

In regards to the various denominations of American Christianity, which ones do you believe treat women the best ?? As in more leadership opportunities & equal treatment between the sexes ?? Which ones do you think view women in a more unequal or lesser light in regards to men?

Here's my take...
Off the top of my head:

Treats women more unequally:
- Southern Baptist
- Reformed Evangelical
- Calvinist/Puritan
- Jehovah Witness
- Pentecostal

Treats women more fairly:
- Roman Catholic
- Church of Latter-Day Saints (non-Fundy)
- Unitarian
- Episcopalian
- Charismatic Evangelical
- Presbyterian
- Lutheran

Thank you for your thoughts and views!!

I'd definitely put Episcopalian way above Catholic, which I'd put near the bottom, along with Charismatic Evangelical - and any church that does not allow female clergy. Also would put Mormons near the bottom. While they believe women's education (now), they still treat women like reproduction machines.

I bet this list was put together by a Roman Catholic, who is told by their church how progressive it is.

The Catholic Church is not progressive. Don't kid yourself.

You need to strike the first two from your more fairly list.

Or perhaps you were joking??

+1 Does the OP not realize that the Catholic church does not allow women to lead?

The church I went to is non denominational . They have female pastors who give sermons.

Pentecostal treats women very well.

Well now this entirely depends on what your definition of "treats women fairly" is.

- person who attends a church where women can be priests

[Anonymous]

And a single church can be very different from your impression of its denomination.

If you mean Unitarian-Universalist when you say say Unitarian, you should include other non-Christian faiths.

[Anonymous]

I would absolutely not put Catholic under "treats women more fairly."

[Anonymous]

What an idiotic waste of time.

I'm sure they're very pleasant to women who know their place.

Women who give sermons, but don't run the church.

Sure, as long as they know their place.
