This is a quick reference list of people/artists/denominations that have taken a clear stance on the issue of women's and men's roles in the church. It is meant to be a place where you can look and see what's going on in a quick glance. It is NOT all inclusive or definitive as that would be hard to do. It is updated as new information comes in.

If you have someone you would like to include in a category, please use the contact us page to make your suggestion. Please include a link to material that verifies their position.
