Jobs for the Boys? - Women Who Became Priests (Paperback)

In 1992, women won the right to be ordained as priests in the Church of England after a long struggle against what had sometimes seemed to be overwhelming opposition. Jobs for the Boys? tells the stories of what it has been like on the inside for some of the remarkable women who have been ordained and started working as priests during the last ten years. But this book isn't just about the struggle to be ordained. It is the story of the changes these exceptional women are making to the Church, often against all the odds. Andrew and Liz Barr have talked to twelve women from greatly varied backgrounds working in many different situations in this lively and engaging book. Their honesty reveals that the Church is still a long way from ridding itself of hostility towards women priests and that too often suspicion and fear are not far from the surface.
