- "The Bible has a liberating message for women. This is what we discovered in a small workshop in India. We also became aware, however, that the Bible has often been used to reinforce negative cultural stereotypes about women, to denounce their struggle for equality, to discourage their full participation in church life and the ministries of the church. .... This booklet is meant to encourage women and men to re-read our Christian tradition in the light of the new experiences of women, and to become aware of attitudes which deeply influence our lives and beliefs, not based on the gospel but on dominant cultural values. Here you participate in an experience which does not claim authority, or scientific depth, or completeness. This is only one model of how women and men can start to make new discoveries in the Bible, taking seriously their own historical experience and context". -- Foreword, p. [vii].

- "This book is based on the World Council of Churches study on the Community of Women and Men in the Church and the consultation held in Sheffield, England, on that subject in the summer of 1981. To that end it mixes material from the preliminary studies, speeches and findings of the conference, and subsequent actions. It does not cover in meticulous detail every major address or included every word of the section reports and recommendations. That book, admirably edited by the director of the study, Constance Parvey, is the official report, `The Community of Women and Men in the Church' (Fortress Press, 1983). It is not a history of the women's department in the World Council of Churches. That book is 'A Voice for Women' by Susannah Herzel". -- Preface, p. 5.

- "When Canon Judy Rois was a student in the late 1970s, she wanted to take a preaching course. But when she went to sign up, she discovered she wasn't allowed because she was a woman. After much lobbying, she recalls, she was let into the class -- the only stipulation was, she had to wait until everyone else had entered the room, then sit at the back, so as not to 'distract' her male classmates" (p. 1). Ordained in 1985, Rois said "she's experienced plenty of gender discrimination. People have walked out or shouted things while she was preaching, crossed the church to take communion from a man, even refused last rites from her because she was a woman" (p. 1, 6). "In 2016, after 40 years of ordination to the priesthood for women, approximately 30 % of all bishops in Canada were female, according to Rois' research. Worldwide, 6.8 % of Anglican bishops were women. In 2018, Canada's first and second female archbishops were elected" (p. 6). "In the church, Rois identifies two main causes of what she terms the 'stained glass ceiling'. One is 'decades of social and gender norms that hinder female involvement outside the confines of the home', says Rois. ... Another cause, specific to the church is the pervasiveness of certain understandings of Scripture. 'For some people .. there's a belief in the headship of men, that women should be kept silent in church', says Rois" (p. 6) Susan Johnson, the first woman to be elected national bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, said "I grew up in a church that didn't ordain women. Even though I think I had, very early on, a call to ordained ministry, I couldn't recognize it for what it was, because it was impossible and foreign" (p. 6). Archbishop Melissa Skelton, elected metropolitan of British Columbia and Yukon in May 2018, "sees the importance of providing the mentorship and support that were not available in the past. 'The experience of many women .. is that there isn't a sufficient network of supportive women to assist them and encourage them to explore the next level of responsibility'" (p. 6). "Towards this end, Skelton is helping to organize 'Leading Women', a conference for women in the Anglican Church of Canada and the U.S.-based Episcopal Church, which will take place in Chicago in October 2019" (p. 6). "While there is no guaranteed strategy to break down glass ceilings, Rois says, there are things that can be done. 'We need to keep looking at more women as bishops, primates, deans -- as women in positions of influence. We need to also provide good daycare for men and women who have children, good working hours .. that allow men and women to care for their families in equal ways'. Skelton believes that 'a diversity of gender -- and not just to say men and women, but different ways people identify -- is really important'. As bishop of the diocese of New Westminster, she has considered the ethnic and gender diversity of her diocese when making appointments" (p. 6).

Asian women should be among the first to uncover reality -- the Asian reality -- and to cease being imitative of European theologians. This book is an effort towards an Asian woman's theology. I do not use the term feminist theology' because the word `feminist' has become too loaded. I am aware that theology, whether it is seen as a discipline or a critical reflection, is primarily about God. How do Asian women encounter God ?" -- Intro., pp. [v]-vi.

- After a slow start in most parts of the world, the Ecumenical Decade of Churches in Solidarity with Women has seen major gains by women in several countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. There have been major celebrations of the ministry of women.
- Now into its second half, the decade has also prompted deep reflection by many in Canada about the meaning of `solidarity' and the benefits of drawing all of the church's constituency -- including men -- into the struggle to recognize the lives of women in the church.
- Of equal concern to those involved in women's issues and in the ministry of women is that the advances and consciousness-raising that the Ecumenical Decade has prompted not come to an end once those 10 years are up.
- In April, InterMission looks at what the Ecumenical Decade of Churches in Solidarity with Women has accomplished so far, and at what remains to be done.
- InterMission is a page prepared monthly by the Information Resources Group of General Synod and published in the inside back cover of the Anglican Journal/Journal Anglican.
