- "After working for 10 years in the Diocese of Guildford, and for 28 years in the ministry of the church altogether, I was given the opportunity to have a study leave. .... In consultation with my husband, I decided to find out how married women priests fitted together the demands of both their marriage and their ministry. This is a situation I face daily: I know that it is not easy to keep the balance and I wondered how other women fared. I began my research with the twelve married women priests in my own diocese. .... [Eventually] I sent off 283 questionnaires, asking for them to be returned by the end of September [1996], and received 157 replies. Two of those who replied were unmarried, which then left me 155 replies. This is a response of 55 % and it is from these questionnaires, together with subsequent interviews with some of the women and some of the husbands, that the following pages have been written". -- Preface, l. 1.
