The Baha'i Studies Listserv I think that depends on which interpretations you look to. There are definitely Christian groups (e.g. the Quakers) who are more egalitarian than the Bahai faith where gender in no way shape or form is related to differences in roles or treatment. The picture is more mixed if you look at more mainstream Protestant denominations and there is also an apples vs. oranges issue. (The Anglican Church has female bishops but is a bishop comparable to being on the UHJ?)
>>>> A female can becomeĀ a bishop or archbishop. A female can become Archbishop of Canterbury. That's the Anglican equivalent of Gaurdian. __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:arch...@mail-archive.com Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-537328-27401.54f46e81b66496c9909bcdc2f7987...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to ly...@list.jccc.edu Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai...@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
