Synopsis

A unique collection of contemporary Orthodox voices addressing key issues around the role and place of women in the life of the church. Although the contributors share a rootedness in the Orthodox tradition, the diversity of contexts, experiences and approaches makes for a richly textured survey as well as setting a challenging agenda for the future. Drawing on biblical and patristic sources, the lives of saints, the work of theologians and the experiences of Orthodox women today, the eighteen women's and three men's voices open up perspectives that speak not only to Orthodox churches but to all Christian churches seeking to 'discern the signs of the times' at the turn of the millennium.
