Perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me can point me in the right direction....when after the split from Rome did female ministers / clergy start appearing in Western Christianity?
I'm not looking to debate the merits of the position merely looking for information. |

I'm not looking to debate the merits of the position merely looking for information. Zechariah-5:5-11 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, amd he said unto me, lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.6 And I said, What is it? And he said, this is an ephah(basket) that goeth forth. He said moreover, this is the resembelance through all the earth. 7 And behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a women that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.9 Then lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings of a stork(Unclean bird): and they lifted up the ephah between the eath and the heaven.10 Then said I unto the angel that talked with me, whither do these bear the ephah?11 And he said unto me, to build it a house in the land of shinar(Babylon, America): and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base. |

I am going to go google and maybe find the answer, and denomination which first had female pastors. |
