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.
