Pork still cause inflammation... If a man watch a female trying to lead him there is of course the risk that he sees her either as a motherfigure or wifefigure or simply as a sexual being - and forgets everything she says, he only remembers the visual. So how will then his wife and mother feel about that. But if he does not see her that way maybe it might be of some good use, of course the female leader should be responsible for what impression she want to make too. So yes somewhat times change but still men and women are going to feel attracted by each other and often men are the visual ones. Women often need to feel loved, touched and kissed. Say if I am to having a discussion with a group that has both women and men, middleaged or older then I prefer not wearing makeup and dress respectably or use makeup sparingly because I want to be taken seriously. If it is basically women or young people or fashionistas, singers, artists, actors or hairdressers or that kind of people I might add more makeup. Because otherwise they might get bored by my natural looks and not care to listen to my message. I might use more colour in my clothes too. A female leader however should no matter looks think of the people the congregation the church and not be tied down with family and housechores so I suspect a woman has hands full of kids unless it is grandkids and housechores. Who will take over for her if she leads? Will her husband do that? Will they share the responsibility? Can the church be like an extended relative of brothers and sisters where noone really feel they are the greatest or the most worthy leader? Was it not so that the leader should be ready to do eaven the pettiest chore and serve even the smallest of them without having lofty thoughts of himself or herself. But I would say that because the world is as it is today I think it is a need to have at least one feamel leader in the church that has as much rights and knowledge as a pastor or priest because there are a few women that dare not talk to or do not think a male priest understand them In some particular christian struggles that maybe women understand better. Not that all women are understanding either, I am not saying that. I also think that a how did You like our church today responce box for the church leaders is good selfevaluation. And a box on anonomous ideas how to improve. You never know what people can write that they otherwise are too scared to stand for to say to a leader. And the leader might not approve of it because the idea came from a particular person so it better be anonomous. It is a follow up of good ideas, and peoples wellbeing and if an idea is tried once or twice and many people dislike it then try another for awhile. You can not please everyone but I suppose people mostly leave church because they either are upset or bored.
