The question should be "why shouldn't they". There are not many significant differences between men and women; not many things that men can do and women can't. Nor the other way round. So in most cases, there is no valid reason to bar women from specific jobs.

Can a gay vicar marry people?
Yes they can - and I know this from experience as I am married to a vicar! In the Anglican Church both men and women can become vicars, and can get married. My wife has been a vicar in two parishes. Our latest parish also has a Methodist minister, who is female and married. In our first parish there was a Baptist minister - and he was married too. Most, if not all, Protestant churches allow their clergy to marry. The two main denominations that do not allow their clergy to marry are some parts of the Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. However, in the RC church there are some campaigns to allow clergy to marry. In England this had a lot of publicity after the Church of England agreed to allow women to become priests (and hence vicars) with the first ordained in the 1990s. A small number of Church of England clergy, opposed to women's ministry, 'defected' to Rome, and, after retraining, became priests in the RC church. Many of these were already married with families (as they were former Church of England vicars) and were still allowed to practise within the RC Church. Many then felt that the celibacy of the priesthood had been breached once-and-for-all, and as there was no divine 'retribution' for such an act, a call for celibacy to be optional in the RC church was made. There have been no decisions either way as yet, but there are still a large number who believe that married RC priests would not only be acceptable but also beneficial to the church.

What is the difference between a temporary pastor and a permanent pastor?
Some churches have a pastor for three years only, they are called temporary pastors. But smaller churches have pastors serving for many years at that church only they are called permanent pastors.--Some very small churches have pastors that are assigned to a bigger church. These may be associate pastors in bigger local churches, and are assigned to these small churches, whereby they are under the supervision of a senior pastor, and gain experience in being a pastor in their own right. In many places these temporary pastors are called Vicars.
