What do you think about the following issue? Is there awareness of this
issue as one that has social and environmental repercussions?
----
There is evidence that the exclusion of women from roles of religious
authority is an obstacle to the *integral human development of both men
and women*. It may be, therefore, a significant obstacle to sustainable
human development. If so, religious institutions in which worship is
always presided by a male are part of the problem, and should reconsider
the social harm they may be doing and the doctrines being used to
rationalize the perpetuation of male-only religious hierarchies. This
seems to be a universal problem in most religions worldwide.
----
Is this a significant concern that should be given high priority in
human development? In family life? In professional life? In public
life? In education?
