What do we need to learn and receive from the other to help us
address challenges or wounds in our own tradition? That is the key
question asked in what has come to be known as 'receptive
ecumenism'. And nowhere is this question more pressing and
pertinent than in women's experiences within the church. Based on
qualitative research from five focus groups, 'For the Good of the
Church' expose the difficulties women face when they work in a
church - sexism, unfulfilled vocation, and abuse of power and
privilege, as well as the wide range of gifts and skills which
women bring in light of these. The second part of the book
continues to draw on the particular wounds and gifts, which arise
in the focus groups. Specific case studies are used to identify
gifts of theology, practice, experience, vocation and power.
Against negative prognoses of an 'ecumenical winter', Gabrielle
Thomas reveals how radically different theological and
ecclesiological perspectives can be a space for learning and
receiving gifts for the well-being of the whole Church.
