The classical Anglican understanding of a bishop is expressed in
the Canons of the Church of England with the phrase 'father in God'
- wording that remains unchanged by the decision to ordain women as
bishops. This volume sets out, in a non-polemic way, the
understanding of priestly and episcopal ministry from the biblical,
historical and theological viewpoints of those who defend a
traditional view of priesthood as male, while being fully a part of
the Church of England. It incorporates elements of the landmark
book Consecrated Women? and brings the discussion fully up to date
in light of the General Synod's decision to ordain women to the
episcopate in 2014. Leading figures explore the topic from a range
of perspectives, including Martin Warner, the Bishop of Chichester;
on living in love and charity with your neighbour; Jonathan Baker,
the Bishop of Fulham, on consecrated women; Emma Forward, a member
of General Synod, on feminism in a post-feminist age; Geoffrey
Rowell, formerly Bishop of Europe, on mission, scripture, tradition
and church unity; and Aidan Nicholls OP, a Dominican priest and
academic, offers a Roman Catholic perspective.
