In the Episcopal Church, both men and women are ordained to the priesthood. They can also be Bishops. Women could become priests in the Episcopal Church beginning in 1976.

Can I date my priest?

It depends upon the denomination of the church. Roman Catholic priests are exclusively male and are not allowed personal relationships with women as they vow celibacy at their ordination. However, other denominations (such as Anglican and Episcopalian, and Methodists) all allow their priests and ministers (male and female) to marry and therefore, unless there is another reason why not (e.g. he or she is already dating or is married!!) it would be well within the 'rules' to date if he or she agrees.
