    I wish i had something off the top of my head but I’m mostly basing this off what i remember from uni lectures.

    That being said if you look up early Christianity you’ll see that women filled the roles of priests and were often responsible for spreading and maintaining the faith before its roman adoption. You can even even see this in the bible where the earliest chronological chapters are extremely sympathetic to women, then become less and less so as time goes on.

    I’ll see if i can find a specific reference for you later today.

      No worries, I appreciate it anyway :)

      I wasn’t raised with any sort of religion, so I don’t know much about any of it (and definitely haven’t read the Bible… tho I tried once and was bored out of my skull), but I feel like if I’d learned about that I’d remember it :p
