Can a woman be ordained a priest? In the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren, this has been a reality since 1953. Since then, more than 200 women have been ordained in the largest Protestant church in Bohemia. Today, women pastors make up about 30% of the Protestant clergy.

Alexandra Jacobea is 40 years old and hails from Brno.
