Not long enough to know the human element in religion. Like mindedness is what happens when a group agrees. that is in the case of shaving one face, and having a Catholic/Lutheran symbol on their platform. They all agreed, they voted with their feet and come to assemble every Sunday and every Xmas. They don't have a problem. It is the ones who are among them who want them to change the way they see fit to worship. Look, you have a girlfriend who is a "preacher" you see no problem with that, as well as the congregation you attend. Yet, as you well know there are those who do have a problem with the idea of women preachers. That shouldn't bother you, because you don't attend or fellowship (I would assume) anyone who strongly disagrees with any form of female preaching. I asked the question how long have you been in religion because of the simple fact that religious ideology isn't something that brings unity. But as Jesus said "a sword."
Jesus wasn't trying to have all the religious sects of Rabbinicalism come together in a bless me club. But He presented the truth which they obviously had modified. Modified to such a degree that it made who the messiah was to be, unrecognizable.
The human factor in politics, religion, science, or neighborhoods is that those of like minds gravitate to each other naturally.
