Reeeeaaalllly sorry, I know this is something that belongs in the chatter box but I need a little info.
Which branch of Christianity is it that still condems working mums and women who go to work? I lost my bit of paper, and the only one I can think of is Catholisism, but I'm not sure about that.
Really sorry, but thanks to all help given!

I'm Catholic and I've never heard of the Church condemning working mothers. O_o
Granted I understand the importance of taking care of a child and limiting my work to be a mother is something I would want to do naturally just as my own mom made that sacrifice for me. But I've never been told that being a mother and a _____ is a sin or anything like that.
I don't think the problem is so much that the mother is working rather when the child is being neglected. question

the most recent Southern Baptist conference or assembly declared that men must lead and women submissively follow; women are not to compete with men in the marketplace. (according to the Christian Science Monitor).
this next long thing is from an abstract by Laura Moore PhD of Hood College, who says all fundamentalists want to keep women at home:
INDIVIDUAL- LEVEL FUNDAMENTALISM AND GENDER ATTITUDESFundamentalist denominations originated largely out of nineteenth century Holiness and Pentecostal movements (Ammerman 1987; Woodberry and Smith 199 cool . Fundamentalists tend to oppose the growth of secular influence in society (Hawley and Proudfoot 1994). They also tend to believe in the inerrancy of the Bible, personal salvation, the premillenial imminent return of Christ, and an evangelical need to convert others (Ammerman 1987; Woodberry and Smith 199 cool . Fundamentalist Protestants endorse traditional gender role attitudes in adherence to Biblical scriptures that portray men as leaders but women as followers (Ammerman 1987; Bendroth 1993). The traditional hierarchy taught by Fundamentalist churches is from God to man and from man to woman, with women?s roles defined as that of helpmate and mother (Kosmin and Lachman 1993). Accordingly, fundamentalists tend to oppose modern, modified gender roles whereby women have entered the paid workforce, sought more egalitarian divisions of household labor and asserted themselves more openly in marital decision-making processes (Brown 1994; Kosmin and Lachman 1993). Even the earliest studies of gender attitudes noted the association of religious denominations and beliefs and their corresponding conservative gender attitudes (Mason and Bumpass 1975). Utilizing 1972 - 1984 GSS data, Hertel and Hughes (1987) found white Protestant fundamentalists to retain the most conservative attitudes regarding women's home, work and political roles.

The only thing I can think of are Mormon's and Southern Baptist churchs. But then, they don't give women much rights in anything anyway. So..*shrug*

LDS members and Southern Baptists are the only denominations I can think of, I guess all the other groups actually posses the ability to change with the times.
