      Many Christian sects also have female leaders. The Episcopal Church comes to mind as one of the bigger ones. The Southern Baptists would say Episcopalianism is not Christianity, though. Hell, I think that’s even their stance on Catholicism.

        Episcopalians are the wealthiest sect of Christianity, they value education and intellectualism, like the many Jewish sects do.

        In other words, they are godless heathens…
