This 42-page edition delves into the ongoing theological debates surrounding women’s participation in pastoral and ministerial positions, highlighting the significant contributions women make to church life despite their underrepresentation in leadership roles.
In this book, Dailey examines the complexities of gender dynamics in religious contexts, particularly within the Catholic church.

Official synopsis Publisher
“Women’s roles in the church have been the topic of many theological debates and remain one of the most contentious issues in the Catholic church. It is clear that by any measure, women compose more than 70% of active membership in most churches and are responsible for 90% of the projects that support church operations. Why then is it so difficult for Christian leaders to bridge the gap between the performance and loyalty of women to actual pastoral and ministerial positions? The principal reason is that for many years the words of the Apostle Paul in 1 Tim 2:12 and 1 Cor. 14:34 have been used as the basis for subjugating women’s roles.”–Page 4 of cover
