also popular in some parts of the Anglican tradition. "Padre" (Spanish word for father, used in Brazil too) is frequently used in the military of English-speaking countries. A priest of the regular clergy. A pre-Scholastic Christian writer accepted by the church as an authoritative witness to its teaching and practice (see Fathers of the Church: those who were not completely orthodox but nonetheless had a major impact on Christianity, such as Origen and Tertullian, are called "ecclesiastical writers" instead). "Mama" is the local native language term for English speaking Anglican priests in the Anglican Church of Melanesia. It means "father" in several local languages in Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands. Archbishop In Christianity, an archbishop is an elevated bishop, responsible for all churches belonging to a religious group of a particular district. A bishop at the head of an ecclesiastical province or one of equivalent honorary rank.

The ordination of women has increasingly become accepted within many global religious faith groups, with some women now holding the most senior positions in these organizational hierarchies. There is disagreement between various global church denominations, and within membership of denominations, regarding whether women can be ministers.
