Women In Christian Religion Women in the Christian Church Women in religion has been a controversial subject for many years. Even though advances have been made to include women, we as women still have a long road ahead of us. Women are still not seen in as many significant positions as men, but the roles of women in the church are gradually changing. Women are even being seen in pastor or reverend positions today. The subject of women in religion goes back even before the Civil War. Women were promoting the cause of equality within the church. They argued for the admission of women in seminaries and into the ministry. Particularly, a woman named Anna Howard Shaw was seen as a great preacher and fought to teach the message of God from the pulpit, though she was turned down many times. Even though she knew even as much as her male counterpart, she was forbidden to have her voice heard. (Carr, p. 10-12.) One significant point in history to women is the Reformation. The Reformation brought about some changes in the church’s way of viewing women.
