Description:

Melanie A. May The World Council of Churches study, "On Being the Church: Women'sVoices and Visions," provides the frame for our focus on the place of women in the church, their ministries, their exercise of authority -including in ordained ministry. Historical and theological perspectives will be brought to an ecumenical exploration of women in ministry. The study also provides experiential perspectives on pressing issues faced by women in the worldwide church, e.g., violence against women and children, poverty, sexuality and racism. Throughout, course material will be related to students' own practices of ministry in the church and the world of the 21st century.
