Summary

"This diverse and compelling collection of essays argues the case for women bishops. It reflects experiences of women who serve as bishops and provides perspectives from across the major denominations on women in leadership roles." "The contributors include the first female bishop in the Anglican Communion, as well as a range of bishops, other clergy and lay people, male and female, from Africa, the USA, Australia, England, Scotland and New Zealand, from the Anglican, Methodist, Baptist, Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches." "The result is a book that speaks with authority both on the role of bishops in the Christian tradition, and of the experiences of male and female clergy and laity in the twenty-first-century worldwide Church."--BOOK JACKET.
