Authority and theological method in the Anglican tradition -- Eucharist and ministry in the New Testament church -- Eucharist and ministry in the early church fathers -- Sacramental ministry in the Anglican tradition -- Worship, ministry and eucharistic deprivation: alternative approaches -- Proposals for authorized lay eucharistic presidency in the context of mission -- Theological arguments for lay presidency at the eucharist -- The current position in the Anglican Communion, and outstanding issues -- Concluding reflections.

Sommario/riassunto

The demand for allowing lay ministers to preside at the Eucharist has become a pressing issue in many churches, not only in Anglicanism. Within the Anglican Communion this issue seems to be potentially divisive as most provinces refuse to accept lay presidency, but some - as the Archdiocese of Sydney - are discussing schemes to introduce it. In Lay Presidency at the Eucharist an Anglican theological approach to controversial questions is articulated. Taylor investigates in particular what allegiance to Scripture entails, and how its authority is to be applied in the Church today. The evidence

Sommario/riassunto

When high jumper Alice Coachman won the high jump title at the 1941 national championships with "a spectacular leap," African American women had been participating in competitive sport for close to twenty-five years. Yet it would be another twenty years before they would experience something akin to the national fame and recognition that African American men had known since the 1930's, the days of Joe Louis and Jesse Owens. From the 1920's, when black women athletes were confined to competing within the black community, through the heady days of the late twentieth century when they ruled the world of



women's track and field, African American women found sport opened the door to a better life. However, they also discovered that success meant challenging perceptions that many Americans--both black and white--held of them. Through the stories of six athletes--Coachman, Ora Washington, Althea Gibson, Wilma Rudloph, Wyomia Tyus, and Jackie Joyner-Kersee--Jennifer H. Lansbury deftly follows the emergence of black women athletes from the African American community; their confrontations with contemporary attitudes of race, class, and gender; and their encounters with the civil rights movement. Uncovering the various strategies the athletes use to beat back stereotypes, Lansbury explores the fullness of African American women's relationship with sport in the twentieth century.
