Celibacy is definitely allowed for church leaders, and to a certain degree, it is encouraged. However, Scripture nowhere requires celibacy for those serving in positions of church leadership.
How did Celibacy get started in the church??
It first appeared at the councils of Elvira AD 306.
church leaders were given their positions with no training or qualifications.
Can you say Nepotism???the church leaders would then pass on their positions to their descendants.
By not allowing children there was no way this could continue.
