Rev. Kristen Muse says she's considering leaving the Southern Baptist Convention over its ban on women pastors.
She says the Bible states that women should not have spiritual authority over men.
She asks: Why do millions of women belong to religious groups that don't treat them as equal to men?.
Many women hold sincere beliefs in a theology called “complementarianism” Complementarians believe that God created men and woman as equals, but with separate roles for each.
The SBC has created “empowering mechanisms” that allow women to serve in leadership roles.
Some women find other ways to assert their leadership.
The potential trauma of leaving a church group is so painful that some women decide it’s not worth it.
Cait West , author of “ RIFT : A Memoir of Breaking Away from Christian Patriarchy ,” says she grew up in a “ Christian patriarchy movement” Some women find ways to rationalize staying in the SBC even if they don’t agree with its policies.
