196: Should Women be Pastors?

October 10th, 2025
by Pastor Michael Gabbert
King Charles III recently approved the nomination for the new Archbishop of Canterbury. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the leader of the Church of England, what we often call the Anglican church. That news would be of minor interest to a small segment of specialists, except for one thing: the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury will be a woman. Biblically, is that a problem?
