"Too few Anglican women involved in decision-making processes"

[hrmjustin]

By ACNS staff

Not enough women are participating in decisions made by churches at all levels according to the Anglican Communion Office's Women's Desk Officer.

In an interview in the latest Anglican World magazine the Revd Terrie Robinson said that women's ministry, both lay and ordained, is still not lifted up and blessed by the church in the way it could be.

"What impresses me about women in all parts of the Communion is that they often go into places where others don't want to go," she said. "But sadly their work is often left at the fringes of Church life."

1. Do you know Anglican women do their work through religious orders or otherwise?

2. Anglicans have religious orders very similiar to the RCC but some of those nuns are priests.

However many Anglican provances don't have woman clergy.

5. Both.

As Justin says, there are religious orders for both men and women, But in the Episcopal Church, at least, you find women on parish governing bodies as well as carrying out day-to-day administration of the church and its outreach programs.
