Ordination of women in Christianity

=== Baptist ===
Baptist groups that do not support the ordination of women include;
* The [[Southern Baptist Convention]] (the largest of the various Baptist denominations) does not support the ordination of women; however, some churches that are members of the SBC have ordained women. Though each SBC church is autonomous and may choose whether or not to ordain women, the local associations and state conventions have the right to not seat messengers from those churches at the annual meetings, and some have done so.{{citation needed|date=March 2018}}
