SNP leadership contender Kate Forbes does not believe women should be church ministers, according to a letter she wrote in 2014.
The letter stated: "It is a great injustice when we ignore God’s plan for women... His plan clearly states that, specifically within the Church, 'I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man.'"
She also hit out at "feminist-power arguments" and added that "my femininity is not a cultural, social or religious construct. It is a God-given mandate."
