Ordination of women in Protestant denominations
Okay, kiddo, so in some churches, there are special people called "ordained ministers" who do important things like lead worship services, teach people about the bible, and serve as spiritual leaders for the community.
Now, historically, many churches have only allowed men to become ordained ministers, but some Protestant denominations (which are just groups of churches that share similar beliefs) have decided that it's okay for women to do this job too.
This is called "ordination of women," and it means that women can be trained and given the special title of ordained minister just like men can.
It's important to remember that not all Protestant denominations agree on this issue, and some still only allow men to be ordained ministers. But for those that do allow women to be ordained, it's seen as a way to make sure that talented and dedicated women can use their skills to serve their communities and their faith.
