The Call for Women Bishops by Harriet A Harris

The Call for Women Bishops by Harriet A Harris

A collection of views on this debated issue A stimulating collection of purpose-written contributions on the issue of women bishops. The Church of England is debating whether to admit women to the episcopate. Many churches in the Anglican Communion have already done so - or have said that they will but have not yet elected or appointed any women as bishops. This book argues the case for women bishops by addressing the significance of scripture and tradition, issues of authority, the need for change, as well as the place of bishops in the church and the world. Contributors include the first female bishop in the Anglican Communion, as well as a range of bishops, other clergy and laypeople, 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 compelling book which 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 world-wide church.

Jane Shaw is Dean of Divinity, Chaplain and Fellow of New College Oxford. Harriet Harris is Chaplain of Wadham College, Oxford, and a well-known writer.
