Anglican Women on Mission and the Church

This is a pioneering book by women theologians and leaders in the Anglican Communion to address the topics of ecclesiology and missiology. In the past several decades, the issues of women's ordination and homosexuality have unleashed intense debates on the nature and mission of the Church, authority, and the future of Anglican Communion. Amid such momentous debates, theological voices of women in the Anglican Communion have not been clearly heard. This book invites women theologians, seminary teachers, and leaders to reconsider the theological basis of the Church and its call to mission and ministry in the twenty-first century, paying special attention to the colonial legacy of the Anglican Church and the shift of Christian demographics to the Global South. Contributors include Ellen K. Wondra (USA), Jane Shaw ( Dean of Grace Cathedral, San Francisco), Judith Berling, Graduate Theological Union, Clara Luz Ajo Lazaro (Cuba), Wendy Fletcher (Canada), Gulnar Eleanor Francis-Dehqani (Iran/UK), Esther Mombo, Cordelia Moyse(UK Mother's Union) and Jenny Te Paa.Read less
