Author is the daughter of Iranian Bishop Hassan Dehqani-Tafti and grew up in Iran. She is now a priest of the Church of England and a member of NIFCON's Management Group. Article which follows is "an edited form of the contribution Guli made to the NIFCON presentation at ACC-13". Contribution highlights the importance of interfaith dialogue, especially with Muslims in a post September 11 world. "[W]hilst it is certainly important to highlight positive ventures and build good relations, it is also essential to speak out on issues of justice and human rights. Somehow, we must struggle to keep both strands going alongside each other". Describes the history and current situation of Christians, and especially the Anglican Christian community, in Iran today.
"To mark the tenth anniversary of the vote to ordain women as priests, a rich tapestry of voices reflects on the impact of a decade of women's priestly ministry in the Church of England. Many women serving in a variety of pastoral contexts ... As contemporary debate surrounding the ordination of women to the episcopate intensifies, the experiences of Bishop Penny Jamieson are particularly timely, as she reflects upon her decision to leave England to fulfil her calling as a Bishop in New Zealand". -- back cover.
