my wife walked out of the Methodist Church years ago when they wouldn't make a deserving woman a pastor, taking a national stance against women in their clergy.

She smiled when she talked to the pastor in front of others in the congregation when she left that day, telling him very out loud exactly why she was leaving. He was full of double talk, blah blah telling her she just didn't understand, then she asked why she didn't understand? because she was a woman? with only two undergraduate degrees and two masters degree?????? (He was fearful of her withdrawing, because she was one of the larger donors to his particular church/congregation.....)
