Gender
Men hold a greater proportion of senior positions in the workplace. Many churches do not allow women to be priests or bishops. Some Christians also believe that men are head of the family.
Some christians believe that men and women should be equal - however, others believe that men and women have different callings and women should therefore not be leaders of the church.
Disability
Physically disabled people do not have the same oppurtunities in work or education. People with mental illnesses face great discrimination from employers and many disabled embryos are often aborted.
Some Christians see the disabled as 'charity cases', while others see them as active members of the community. Many Christians attempt to remove all the barriers to full participation in the church - for example, bibles in braille and signed worships.
