A church wouldn't be endorsing a woman with spiritual leadership? (This was the next-to-last question.)
What if your male pastor had long hair? Would you discontinue going?
What if your pastor married two people, one of whom was divorced on non-adulterous grounds?
Would you discontinue going?

I go to church for fellowship and to enjoy the presence of the Lord. If I sense the Lord is not present, then I move on. It's that simple. I've never chosen a church based on the criteria which you've mentioned. I'm not saying those issues aren't important, just that my search for a church didn't happen to be dictated by them. My hunger for genuine bread from heaven is what drove me. And really that's my only concern church-wise.
