The Christian Post reports:
At least 87 percent of members, elders (lay leaders) and ministers of Presbyterian churches across the country indicated they have “no opinion” on whether they prefer a man or a woman for most congregational roles, such as a deacon, an elder or a committee chair. But when asked about the gender of their pastor, a smaller majority, at least 63 percent, said they have no preference, the latest Presbyterian Panel survey showed.
Among those who did express gender preferences, 37 percent of members prefer a man as pastor while only 1 percent prefer a woman.
These statistics appear to be for the Presbyterian Church USA.
