text: Actually, we are a secular organization.  Ninety-nine percent of the Church's population is secular, and it's founder, Jesus Himself, was a secular.  The word "secular" has gotten a bad rap.  "Secular" means in the world, in the world God created and and looked at as "very good".  The priesthood which exists is the Royal Priesthood we all share by virtue of our baptism.  Some of us (both male and female) may be called to the ordained priesthood of servant-leadership.  That call comes from God Who does not distinguish between male and female. Just as the world is constantly evolving in its journey to Christ-centered completion, so too our understanding of servant-leadership will continue to unfold until we finally realize that "in Christ there is neither male nor female" and "all are one in Christ Jesus".
