Enrichment Notes

Major data error: listed as PCA but is ECO. ECO allows women's ordination. Denomination scored yellow not green since ECO is confessional-lite relative to PCA. | [2026-04-30 denomination correction: Presbyterian (PCA) -> Other; reason: ECO Presbyterian, not PCA — verify gender/LGBTQ stance]
