Letter to the editor: Choices limited

Notes: "I read with interest the centre spread on the ordination of women in the March 2014 issue of the 'Anglican Journal' [pp. 6-7]. My sister, Charlotte, described her sadness when, as a 19-year-old woman, she knew that our father opposed the ordination of women -- a reality that limited her career choices, yet not that of her two brothers. I was 13 years old at the time and remember thinking to myself of our father's view, 'He is wrong'. A thought that in the short-term I kept to myself. I was ordained in 1992. My life has been deeply enriched by the ministry of ordained women who have been for me mentors, teachers, pastors, friends, colleagues and partners. I cannot imagine a church without them. Charlotte would have been, and who knows might still be, a very fine priest". [Text of entire article.]
