Lately our church elected its first female elder. Although that's nothing like a pastor, it was still a big deal for our conservative Baptist Church. I've heard that some of the long time members have left because of it.
I was at a Bible study group (which is just five or six guys around my age, so similar thoughts normally) and the issue of women in ministry came up. Most of us disagreed that a woman should ever be head pastor (though I didn't say so) and most were reasonably reluctant to even say they could be a pastor.
What is the biblical teachings normally used to say women can't be leaders? And with those verses, are they cultural or based on Christ's teaching?
