The Southern Baptist Convention has disfellowshiped four more churches deemed not to be in friendly cooperation with the denomination's regulations, including one for having a female senior pastor and another that allows women in church leadership.

Southern Baptists will vote this week on whether or not to ban women from becoming pastors after numerous churches were ousted for having female leaders. 

Messengers with the Southern Baptist Convention voted overwhelmingly to advance a measure to prevent women from serving as a "pastor of any kind," bringing the denomination one step closer to solidifying the rule as a constitutional amendment.

Southern Baptists are slated to vote this week on a proposed amendment to their constitution that would formally prohibit women from serving in teaching pastoral roles.
