Anglican Women On Mission And The Church

Issues of women’s ordination and homosexuality have caused intense debates about mission, authority, and the future of Anglican Communion, but amid this, the theological voices of women have not been clearly heard. This book invites women theologians, teachers, and leaders to reconsider the theological basis of the Church, its mission and ministry.



This pioneering book by theologians and leaders in the Anglican Communion addresses the topics of ecclesiology and missiology. This book invites theologians, theological educators and church 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. Part one of the book offers reflections on historical and theological perspectives on the Church by some of the Anglican Communion’s leading theologians. In the second part of the book, a number of authors from around the world discuss the involvement of Anglican women in God’s mission in a variety of contexts including the Mothers’ Union, the Church Mission Society and the HIV-Aids pandemic.
