It is my observation that, at least in the west, issues of sexuality are the bleeding edge for religions today. Questions about women in leadership and the inclusion of LGBTQ individuals are hot button topics. Some groups trench in and maintain traditional view. Others are opening up to a greater or lesser extent. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, traditionally patriarchal, has appointed three women to leadership roles.
They have also been more open about some of the details of their history than was previously the case.
