Do you have a quote from the book, and a matching source?

Re: Women Pastors- equal Dying Denominations
We wouldn't have a whole big bunch of our church's if lady men of God hadn't started them.

Re: Women Pastors- equal Dying Denominations
Women preachers have been fairly popular in the UPC from the very beginning.
So... according to this theory... UPC has been dying from day one.
I grew up in a church with a woman pastor. I was 26 years old before I ever had a male pastor. And all of those years under a woman pastor has not made me an advocate of women pastors either...
But the correlation that is being drawn here is baseless.

Individual experiences do not a trend make.
Sis Brattified,
All of pages 53-57 are dedicated to the topic far too much to retype.
It comes with accompanying documentation and graphs.
A couple quotes:
"In the past two decades, the number of female clergy has more than tripled. Women students in divinity school just passed 51%.... But a deeper look at the struggles of women clergy suggests that what's ahead may not be Good News.... In the past fifty years, nearly every major religious group in America that has permitted women clergy has seen a profound drop in membership. And every major religious group that has excluded women clergy has seen a dramatic rise... As the chart below shows, mainline Protestant groups that permit women clergy have dropped in membership. Most other denominations that exclude them have grown."
Detailed chart on page 55 covering 1960-2002

Re: Women Pastors- equal Dying Denominations
Please understand I personally like the idea of MEN pastors...however many women that I have known and know have given their whole lives for souls...I know there are some odd ones out there but I have met my share of odd men too...
I feel even in my line of work...I was probably not God´s first choice...however when He said go I went...

Re: Women Pastors- equal Dying Denominations
"mainline Protestant groups" would exclude denominations like UPC, and possibly even AOG.
