Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The United Church and Anglican Church in Canada have made significant strides in the ordination and representation of women in the ministry. In the Anglican Church, approximately 25% of clergy are women, and in the United Church, nearly half of all clergy are women. This is in contrast to some other religions in Canada, such as Aboriginal Canadian religions, which may not recognize or allow for women in spiritual leadership roles. While Reform Judaism has ordained women as rabbis since 2000, it is not a major religion in Canada. The Roman Catholic Church does not allow women to serve as clergy, regardless of marital status.
