The growth of women's ordained ministry is one of the most
remarkable and significant developments in the recent history of
Christianity. This collection of essays brings together leading
contributors from both academic and church contexts to explore
Christian experiences of ordaining women in theological,
sociological, historical and anthropological perspective. Key
questions include: How have national, denominational and ecclesial
cultures shaped the different ways in which women's ordination is
debated and/or enacted? What differences have women's ordained
ministry, and debates on women's ordination, made in various church
contexts? What 'unfinished business' remains (in both
congregational and wider ministry)? How have Christians variously
conceived ordained ministry which includes both women and men? How
do ordained women and men work together in practice? What have been
the particular implications for female clergy? And for male clergy?
What distinctive issues are raised by women's entry into senior
ordained/leadership positions? How do episcopal and non-episcopal
traditions differ in this?
