Addressing Non Catholic "Clergy"

[Paul]

What do you call women Prot., "clergy?" "Mother," maybe? I once had one come into work and just let to manager mostly handle her order, if I remember correctly.

Since the role of the clergy is to guide their spiritual children to heaven, I suggest Father. ;)

HAHAHA! I used to have a "woman priest" in my Anglican church. I'd refer to her as a "priestess," and would just call her "Lindy," which is what everybody called her. She said that she had many people call her Mother... that would be rather disturbing.

If it is a woman, no way will I address her as Pastor or Rev.,  even the Baptist are no longer making women pastors.

 

As for the men, their false titles are pretty funny, but you have to remember, if they are truly ordained by the state in which they practice, then addressing them as Rev. or Dr. is part of their secular divinity title and would only give acknowledgement to their state ordination.

They call priestesses "Mother"? wow! I thought you called important nuns "Mother"!
