A USEFUL BIBLIOGRAPHY
of texts calling into question the ordination of women
to the priesthood and episcopate
For those who want to know why many Anglicans believe the ordination of women to the priesthood and episcopate to be a mistake, the best place to start is the book CONSECRATED WOMEN? published by Canterbury Press. It is edited by Jonathan Baker, now Bishop of Fulham and Chairman of Forward in Faith and deals with important Scriptural issues, including the nuptial imagery at the heart of the Christian revelation.
This bibliography will be added to as time goes by. If any readers would like to recommend works for inclusion, please SEND AN EMAIL with the details.
