In the 1890s Australian and New Zealand women became the first in
the world to win the vote. Buoyed by their victories, they promised
to lead a global struggle for the expansion of women's electoral
rights. Charting the common trajectory of the colonial suffrage
campaigns, Distant Sisters uncovers the personal and material
networks that transformed feminist organising. Considering intimate
and institutional connections, well-connected elites and ordinary
women, this book argues developments in Auckland, Sydney, and
Adelaide-long considered the peripheries of the feminist
world-cannot be separated from its glamourous metropoles. Focusing
on Antipodean women, simultaneously insiders and outsiders in the
emerging international women's movement, and documenting the
failures of their expansive vision alongside its successes, this
book reveals a more contingent history of international organising
and challenges celebratory accounts of fin-de-siecle global
connection. This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable
Development Goal 5, Gender equality. -- .

The essays collected in this book, which is sure to be at the
foundation of every deacon's library, aim to give the reader an
overview of the theological and pastoral nature of the diaconate
and thus to clarify the fundamental identity of the deacon, for
those who are discerning such a call as aspirants and those who are
already candidates for the office. Editor and contributor James
Keating divides the book into three sections: historical
foundations, pastoral foundations, and sociological foundations for
the diaconate, i.e., the core elements of the diaconal identity.
Some of the subjects covered are the history of the diaconate, the
morality of the deacon, the deacon and work, and the deacon's wife.
The most significant deacon theologians contribute to this text as
well as priest experts on the diaconate. It is a complete
systematic academic text for the first years of formation of
deacons according to the New Roman National Directory (2005). As
such, it is indispensable. This is the first text ever that
specifies the theological formation of the deacon student over a
range of themes and specialties. There is nothing like it in print.
"Listening for Truth" leads men and women in a search for a fuller
experience of God that begins in prayer, grows in the rediscovery
of our spiritual being, and grounds itself in the truth of Jesus
Christ. A presentation of the Christian life as an engagement of
the whole person - body, mind, and soul - in the challenge of daily
living.
