I know it will be pointed out by others that some churches have gone a long way, in providing equal status for women. Of course a big lump of Biblical scripture must be set aside in order to progress along this road. One has to wonder how far this can go, whilst maintaining the concept of the Bible being the divinely inspired script, that defines Christianity.
