The Elephant in the Church: A Woman's Tract for Our Times - Softcover

This book explores what the author terms Women Christianity' from a historical perspective, following the story from biblical times to the present day. If the Christian Church is to survive, it is clear that it must be a more inclusive Church where the gifts of women and men are equally recognized, and where the whole notion of ordination has to be revamped from the bottom up.
