Women and Ordination in the Christian Churches: International Perspectives

Editat de Dr Ian Jones, Rev Dr Kirsty Thorpe, Rev Dr Janet Wootton
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 noi 2011
The growth of women's ordained ministry is one of the most remarkable and significant developments in the recent history of Christianity. This collection of essays brings together leading contributors from both academic and church contexts to explore Christian experiences of ordaining women in theological, sociological, historical and anthropological perspective.  Key questions include: How have national, denominational and ecclesial cultures shaped the different ways in which women's ordination is debated and/or enacted? What differences have women's ordained ministry, and debates on women's ordination, made in various church contexts? What 'unfinished business' remains (in both congregational and wider ministry)? How have Christians variously conceived ordained ministry which includes both women and men?  How do ordained women and men work together in practice? What have been the particular implications for female clergy? And for male clergy? What distinctive issues are raised by women's entry into senior ordained/leadership positions?  How do episcopal and non-episcopal traditions differ in this?

Recenzii

Mention -Book News, February 2009
Title mention in Women in Ministry, October 2009
Review in Theologische Literaturzeitung 35, 2010
"This substantial volume of essays ... [and their] deliberations ... offer a 'state of the art overview of women in ministry at the beginning of the 21st century' ... All its chapters are both accessible and informative..." - John Drane, Theological Book Review, Vol 21 No 1, 2009
The expressed hope of the editors is that the volume "will contribute to the wider debates of feminist theology and ecclesiology" (p. 17). This is a collection rich in theological, historical and social insight, offering a number of perspectives into the challenges facing the ordained ministry of women, and also the challenges presented by it, as Rachele Vernon's Caribbean perspective suggests: "The admission of women to the threefold order of ministry does far more than change the face of Anglican priesthood. It profoundly alters the entire anatomy of ministry' (p. 223). The volume more than lives up to the editors' hope, and it deserves to be read and engaged with more widely than its expensive, hardback publication will perhaps allow.
