ok so I posted about women pastors/ priests, but did not broch the subject of women bishops... my view is the same on this subject... no... just... no. women can not be the FATHERS of a family. the scriptures say "This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil." these passages are from 1st timothy 3:1-8. all of these verses talk about the positions of men never a women.
