List of women priests: In many denominations of Christianity the ordination of women is a new phenomenon. This is true enough that those so ordained gain some attention. This list deals with that and will include female Bishops as well, but due to historical differences deaconesses will not be included. In Presbyterianism, Methodism, and a few other denominations the ordination of women predates 1900 and is now common enough to be unremarkable. Hence those denominations aren't included.

That’s out o’ hell.”
