There is not just one, but numerous contemporary Christians churches that pose no hindrances to women in leadership. They are those that value Scripture highly, as the Scripture properly interpreted is liberating force for women. For one example, the leading officer in the Salvation Army here in Australia for quite some time was a woman.
As for your kids learning ethics, philosophy, or comparative religion or something in schools, speaking as a former teacher I suspect that these subjects will never be treated properly in schools as most teachers don’t study them in university, and so they don’t have a proper grasp of them.
These days, to give your kids a well rounded education in the deeper things of life, or possibly the spiritual aspect, it may require actually stepping inside of a church. This is something that many Australians, especially some that are quick to criticise on these forum pages, have seldom attempted. But the motto of the University I attended (Latrobe) was “Seek and you will find”, a quote taken straight from the mouth of Jesus. You are welcome at our local church, which is part of the Assemblies of God movement. We have a great pastor and I would be happy to introduce you to her.
