These five essays investigating questions relative to women
religious becoming ordained deacons first appeared in Global
Sisters Report. Each essay presents themes garnered during years of
research and consultation with women religious around the world,
and addresses questions such as: Why should women religious
consider the diaconate? What are the canonical implications of
ordination? Would ordination assist the ministry of women?
Leading theologian Terry Cross articulates the doctrine of the
church's ministry from a Pentecostal perspective, demonstrating how
Pentecostals can contribute to and learn from the church catholic.
This companion volume to Cross's previous book, The People of God's
Presence, proposes a radical revision of the structural framework
of the local church within the often-overlooked corporate
priesthood of all believers. Cross explores principles for
leadership and ministry from the New Testament and the early
church, helping all believers to do the work of ministry.
