Like I said, pretty wild indeed. You certainly wouldn’t know such things existed per normal media. I wonder if they get even more flak from libs than a conservative male pastor would, or if it gives them some protection being female.

They are in southern Illinois, so that makes some difference. I have been away from the UMC for a long time, but from past experience I recall a significant presence of conservatism and traditional Methodism in the south and parts of the Midwest. I would imagine that pastors such as these two ladies do not exist at all in a place such as Chicago.
