I have to admit, I didn't care for the idea, but, after dealing with several "Good" ones and having one in our own church, I've changed my mind

After seeing a very good single mom, I still haven't changed my mind that women are supposed to be married when they have kids.

I don't think a 'good' woman pastor would change my mind at all... much as a very nice homosexual man wouldn't convince me what he's doing is right.

Sorry to be so long in replying; sometimes (not often) there is life beyond the computer.

I wasn't saying that dealing with one (or several) good women priests changed my mind. I was never against women priests in principle ... I just didn't think I would want to be in the congregation of one. (Episcopalians don't like change ... or at least we DIDN'T)

Actually, the best two priests I ever had were homosexual ... but we didn't know it. They were totally in the closet and unavowed; we just found out later. Recalling how good they were does NOT make me approve of ordaining homosexuals.

You made a decent argument if I had been against the woman thing in principle but liked it in the particular, but that is not the case.
