Should there be a flag for women priests?
I am tired of flag culture. We do not need to idolize flags, as it is a sign of rampant individualism in my opinion. So no, we as a society do not need yet another flag. But, there can be an organization for women priests.

Honestly, I don't want any big hoopla made about being a woman who's a priest. The first rule of ministry is, "it's not about you."

I just want to be allowed to get on with the work of ministry, without being attacked for being a woman while doing it.

Do you like Minnesota’s new state flag?
I like the older one, but the new one looks okay, but bland. Used to live in Minnesota from 2001 to 2016, but never really held any attention for the flag.

Dumb Question.

That's the Episcopal flag.

What about those women who are ordained in the United Methodist Church, Lutheran ELCA, etc? Should there be a flag for them?

I know most protestants do not use the term "priest" when referring to their clergy. Pastor or elder is usually more common.

Why? Women priests are the product of neither male nor female in Christ right?
IIRC, the first female ordained was by Congregationalist in the 1800s. Of course, deaconess existed before then.
