text: Isn't time we put let go of the tired, divisive and costly narrative of pastoral Women's Ordination when the Bible does not address the issue of pastoral ordination of either men or women! It's not a sin, nor the breaking of any commandments, for the church to pay pastors/shepherds whose role it is to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for buiding up the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11,12). The role of pastors of either gender, since Paul does not specify gender, is to grow mature disciples so these disciples as members of the Body of Christ (Church), the Lords' sheep, can in turn produce more  sheep (disciples). Shepherds don't make sheep. Let's do away with pastoral ordination altogether. Period. Let's have instead both genders pastors who get on with their appointed role as spelt out by Paul. After all we pay male and female evangelists and teachers to do that very work too as per the apostle's instruction. We even had our own female prophet who did that same work amazingly!
