Mizo women as pastors

AIZAWL, March 13: Women in Mizoram have asked the Church to consider ordain of women as elders or pastors, reports UNI. The state-level Zoram Presbyterian Kohhram Hmeichhia or the Mizoram Presbyterian Church Women Fellowship adopted a resolution here that the Church should also consider women for the post of elder or pastor in future. At present, while there was no written rule prohibiting women from being ordained, no woman has so far been appointed as pastor or elder by the Church in the past 100 years, an elder said.
