This book by Églantine Jamet-Moreau explores the ordination of women in the Church of England, a decision made in November 1992 that ended centuries of exclusively male priesthood. The text delves into the historical, theological, and social debates that led to this significant change, highlighting the struggles and milestones in the movement for gender equality within the Anglican Church. The book also discusses the ongoing controversies and the impact of this decision on the traditional roles of men and women in Christian ministry. The author aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of this transformative period through the testimonies of forty female priests, making it a valuable resource for scholars and readers interested in gender studies, religious history, and ecclesiastical reforms. |
