What is one aspect of church history that relates to modern life?

The way that women are seen. For example, old wedding vows included the line "to honour and obey" for women, suggesting they should "obey" everything that their husband [and other men] told them to do as men were seen as superior. Key figures in the church are most often male, showing that women are still seen as inferior to men. This further relates to modern life as within the workplace, men seem to occupy high status positions and women are faced with a "glass ceiling" that they cannot overcome. Furthermore, women are underrepresented within politics as most MPs are white, middle class and MALE.
