Unlocking the Future: Women and the Diaconate [Paperback]

This book discusses from various angles the position of women in theRoman Catholic Church more specifically with regard to the diaconate.Theological, historical, pastoral, canonical and legal considerationsare taken into account. The book makes clear that the old discussion isalso lively today as only the ordination of women to the priesthood iscurrently closed for further debate. <br/>

The thoughts developed in this book are certainly not exhaustive, nor dothey all go into the same direction. Yet they can offer stepping stonesto a future witch may do right thoroughly to the Church, to women and tothe wellbeing of all Christian faithful.
