However, in response to the growing number of Wiccan temples and [[Wiccan church|churches]], several denominations of the religion have begun to develop a core group of ordained priestesses and priests serving a larger laity. This trend is far from widespread, but is gaining acceptance due to increased interest in the religion.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://paganwiccan.about.com/od/glossary/g/Priesthood.htm |title=Priesthood |publisher=Paganwiccan.about.com |date=2014-03-04 |access-date=2014-08-25 |archive-date=2014-08-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140826120309/http://paganwiccan.about.com/od/glossary/g/Priesthood.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.patheos.com/Library/Pagan/Ethics-Morality-Community/LeadershipClergy.html |title=Leadership |publisher=Patheos.com |access-date=2014-08-25}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.goodgame.org.nz/priesthood.html |title=The Priesthood – Temple of the Good Game |publisher=Goodgame.org.nz |access-date=2014-08-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140702065543/http://goodgame.org.nz/priesthood.html |archive-date=2014-07-02 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
