Produktbeschreibung
This book traces the gender inequality in the church since the time of the early church fathers as well as the 1917 Code of Canon law, the Second Vatican Council and the 1983 Code of Canon law. The author explores the consistent pattern of women being unnamed and unnoticed. Yet there are incredible accounts in the Old and New Testament of women as teachers, prophets, judges, healers and deacons. Yet the passages proclaiming them are either excised from the lectionary or left out altogether. This author declares that it is now time to acknowledge and celebrate these forgotten women and to challenge one another and our church to also count them as equally effective leaders in the church. Men and women together are needed in order to live out the true message of equality and inclusivity which has always been the message of the Gospel.
