Why Do Men Lead the Church When More Women than Men Are Christians?
A recent Pew Research survey of 129 countries reveals what has always been known to be the case - that there are more women who are Christians than men (53% women and 47% men). The difference is staggering. Yet, Christianity is a religion that is led by men, especially in the case of Roman Catholicism. What rationale can possibly justify this injustice? The only thing I can think of right now is a statement I read somewhere, which was attributed to a Nigerian preacher: the church is not a democracy. Could it then be that the church is a dictatorship? Or is the opposite of democracy not dictatorship?
