| Description: |
For many people in the churches, the recent decline in membership among women has been a distressing and deepening reality. For centuries, women have been the mainstay of church life – those who managed housekeeping and catering chores, provided secretarial duties, organised fundraising and supervised the religious education of children, as well as being the majority of worshiping communities everywhere. Without their presence, churches have witnessed serious declines in family participation, the collapse of Sunday schools, and lower involvement in study groups. Inevitably, there is a deepening concern among older churchgoers for the future of their parishes and church life.
In ‘Gender-Balanced Belief’ Australian Anglican author, Mavis Rose, acknowledges the significance and success of the Anglican Movement for the Ordination of Women but alerts the reader to deeper, more endemic realities of church life and governance that have prevented the full participation of women, especially in significant areas of church leadership. |
