Description
This timely book, which arises out of consultations under the auspices of the Centre for the Study of the Christian Church, examines the Church of England's decision to ordain women to the priesthood and to make pastoral provision for those opposed. It attempts to discover and define the theological principles underlying both the ordination of women and the determination of the Church to maintain communion when these developments provoke fundamental disagreements.

Reviews

"This brief volume will be of interest to readers who are fairly new to the questions of communion ecclesiology, and the general history and theology behind the doctrines of reception and communion. For persons outside the Anglican Communion, it provides an opportunity to be something of a nosy neighbor at someone else's family reunion while also considering the wider ecumenical import of decisions made by church bodies. For persons such as myself, a lay Catholic feminist scholar, Seeking the Truth makes for fascinating if frustrating reading." -A. Denise Starkey, Reviews in Religion and Theology, Volume 11, Issue 4, September 2004
