Paul Avis

Seeking the Truth of Change in the Church (eBook, PDF)

Reception, Communion and the Ordination of Women

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This timely book, which arises out of consultations under the auspices of the Centre for the Study of the Christian Church, examines the Church of England's decision to ordain women to the priesthood and to make pastoral provision for those opposed. It attempts to discover and define the theological principles underlying both the ordination of women and the determination of the Church to maintain communion when these developments provoke fundamental disagreements.
