They just keep kicking the can down the road and are trying to appease us with a "study" of female deacons, which will lead to nowhere.  They'll get around to it when they realize that a smaller church that does not include women in leadership roles and very few women in the pews is not really a 21st century church, but a men's club.  By then it will be too late.  All of the family weddings that I have attended in the last five years have been venue weddings.  No baptisms and fewer and fewer kids in Religious Ed.
