Inclusive and exclusive practices are part of innovation and changes in
religious organizations like churches. In this contribution two cases of
change in leadership roles related to gender balance are analysed and
discussed. The dynamics of inclusion and exclusion are explored and
interpreted through the lens of a social identity approach and related to
the change in authority. Data show that the shift in Bible interpretation
on female leadership, as well as the practice of including women in a
previously male domain, affected the perception of the church’s social
and religious identity. In some cases this resulted in leaving the church
due to the authority shift, which can be perceived as a form of apostasy
