The authors search for explanations and reasons why the Orthodox Church has never in its history ordained women to serve as bishops and priests. All agree that the Church had women deacons, and that careful consideration must be given to this office as it existed in the past and as it may once again in the Orthodox Church. No author in this present volume calls for the ordination of women as bishops and priests. All authors agree however that the greatest care must be exercised in dealing with this delicate issue. The Orthodox Church has no infallible magisterium. Church leaders and theologians may be wrong. The Holy Spirit acts within the whole body of believers bringing to remembrance what Christ teaches and guiding the faithful into all truth. If but one member of the Church is inspired to argue from the Bible and church tradition that certain women may be qualified to serve as bishops and priests, he or she must be heard with dignity and respect. Those who believe that only certain believing men are qualified for these ordained ministries must be heard in the same manner and spirit.

'La influencia espiritual es provocada por el Espiritu de Dios, cuya obra consiste en transformar al espiritu humano, devolviendonos la forma original con la cual Dios nos diseno. Esto sucede cuando el Espiritu logra influir ---in fluir--- en nosotros. Y se produce a lo largo de miles de pasos escondidos e imperceptibles.' En este novedoso estudio de lo que es el liderazgo, Mel Lawrenz sostiene que necesitamos mirar mas alla de la superficie, hasta el nucleo mismo de la dinamica espiritual de la vida, para comprender mejor como los lideres pueden tener una influencia duradera en la vida de las personas y de las organizaciones que dirigen. Aprovechando la experiencia adquirida en mas de veinte anos de ministerio pastoral, Lawrenz escribe para los cristianos que tienen algun tipo de liderazgo, cualquiera que este sea, aunque se centra de una manera especial en los lideres mas jovenes. Este libro nos facilita un nuevo punto de partida para el liderazgo cristiano del siglo veintiuno. En el se incluyen las claves para llegar a logros y capacidades que son necesarios para un liderazgo eficaz, entre ellos los siguientes: uedificar integridad en su persona y sus relaciones uaprovechar las oportunidades uexplorar nuevos horizontes uresolver las crisis urecibir poder uaceptar la autoridad ufomentar la verdad ucontrolar las expectativas uenfrentarse a las criticas"
