    The amendment would tighten existing restrictions in the Southern Baptist Convention, which already has a faith statement opposing women pastors.

    So no self respecting pastor, man or woman, would be caught dead being a member of the Southern Baptist Convention to begin with from the sounds of it. Seems like a good question to ask the pastor if they are a member if you are the type afflicted with religion when church shopping.
