They also face a lot of obstacles in their ministry. They are not accepted by many they are called to serve. Because of their leadership role in the church, they often find it difficult to marry. It is even true that some women don’t approve.
Sound like anything we’ve experience in The Episcopal Church (TEC)? Let us not forget that until only recently, we had dioceses in our own church that wouldn’t even ordain women.
I am interested to hear firsthand a bit more about this experience in the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK). I am scheduled to meet with Joyce next Tuesday. I met her last year while she was serving as one of the canons at the cathedral. Now she is serving in her own parish as rector.
Women have always been vital in the work of the Church. I pray that the Church quickly respects the dignity of every human being including the women who serve it so faithfully.
