Anglican Women On Church And Mission

Pioneering work by women theologians and leaders in the Anglican Communion
addressing topics of ecclesiology and missiology

* Sterling array of diverse and distinguished contributors from around the world

* New addition to Canterbury Studies in Anglicanism series

In the past several decades, the issues of women’s ordination and of homosexuality have
unleashed intense debates on the nature and mission of the Church, authority and the
future of the Anglican Communion. Amid such momentous debates, theological voices
of women in the Anglican Communion have not been clearly heard, until now.

This book invites the reader to reconsider the theological basis of the Church and its
call to mission in the 21st century, paying special attention to the colonial legacy of the
Anglican Church and the shift of Christian demographics to the Global South. In addition
to essays by the volume editors, this 12-essay collection includes contributions by
Jane Shaw, Ellen Wondra and Beverley Haddad, among others.
