Voices of Faith Zoom: Yes to women deacons and priests

With her book “…because God wants it”, the Benedictine Philippa Rath has given the discussion about ordained ministries for women a powerful boost.

The new volume “Women in ministry!“ takes the next step: 100 men of the Church – priests, deacons and religious, lay people and also a number of bishops – show solidarity with the cause of women. In personal, also self-critical reports of their experiences, they describe where they miss the work of women in pastoral care and the joint commitment of the sexes in pastoral work.

The many-voiced testimonies from the midst of the Church are a passionate appeal to finally recognise the diverse charisms and talents of women in the Church. They give a powerful response to the testimonies of women and show: Women and men want change. Women and men want justice – because God wants it!
