'Divided response': Presbyterian Church bars women from senior roles

The Presbyterian Church in NSW and the ACT voted 136-61 this week to exclude women from elder roles, reversing a 1960s policy. The decision drew sharp criticism from parishioner Sonia Thew, who said mostly men debated what women could do within the church. The vote goes to local regions for final ratification.
