- "`The Community of Women and Men in the Church' is the report of the historic consultation in Sheffield in 1981 which marked the culmination of a four-year process of study and dialogue. The book tells the story behind Sheffield. It gives an account of what happened at the consultation: the actions and reactions, the speeches, events and resolutions. It also indicates how the study may be continued and its insights realized in the day-to-day life of the churches, so that the Church may be transformed into an authentic community of women and men". -- back cover.
