Contents:
The ordination of women is a burning issue in some churches and not an issue at all in others. With a specialized consultation as its background, this book explores where different churches are regarding this question. Why are women included in ordained ministry in some churches, and excluded in others? Do these different practices pose a threat to the unity of the Church? What are the experiences of ministry in those churches that do ordain woman? Can there be a way towards Christian unity that does not affirm the full humanity and participation of women in the Church as well as men? With reference to ordination, do biological differences really make a difference? These are some of the questions posed.
