1st, we don't have Nuns in any of our congregations. Now, to define the subject,

Abbess:

the female head, or superior, of an abbey. An abbey may be either a convent or monastery, though more often the word designates a convent. (An abbess's male counterpart is called an abbot.)

We only have males as heads, of the Family, of the Congregation, and of God's Kingdom. Women, although are not appointed as heads, are deeply respected and loved in all our congregation.

Ephesians 5:22-24 says: "22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything."
