    Is this what the bathrooms at Mark Driscoll’s church are like?

    Still so very true – even in the emergent church movement of which I am quite fond. VERY true in academia still.

    I do know a good many UCC, UMC, and PC(USA) pastors. Seminary these days seems to be more female than male – wonder how many of these graduate to find a placement in a congregation?

    Zing! Well drawn, bro. Indeed, this is changing in places, but all too slow and in too few corners of the church.

    I think what most men find a sermon good for is background for a nap.

    One of the benefits of being an ordained woman is that there is never a line up for the washroom at our clergy gatherings :)

    Very clever – like it.

    In Scotland, too, female churchgoers vastly outnumber male churchgoers. I’ve often wondered whether that is true the world over? Do you know? Are African/Indian/Chinese/South American churches attended by more females than males?

    Also, do you think that denominations with only male clergy have different male/female proportions than denominations with male and female clergy? It’s not apparent in Scotland but I have no statistics to base that on.

    On a less serious note, I remember a comedian saying that if there had been women ministers for the last two thousand years instead of just recently, churches would look very different – they would have more in the way of curtains and cushions!
