After a couple of the posts about women in seminary, I am feeling guilty. Full disclosure: while my wife holds several college and seminary degrees (including a D.Min.), she did not seek ordination (even though our mainlline denomination at the time ordains women) mainly because she is a complementarian and does not approve of women in that role. Her rueful comment on the spate of women seeking senior pastoral positions is that they are mostly a group of angry women, with problems with the men in their lives (esp. their fathers), who have horrible attitudes toward the church. She just shakes her head and says: "Paul was right."
