As a collection of writing affirming the ordination of women over 45 years, this anthology is not designed to develop an argument from beginning to end. It is written by diverse voices, in a range of styles and covering a multitude of topics. Thank you for picking up this book. Our life together is richer when can take the time to carefully listen to other people and open ourselves to exploration. Together, can we reimagine a church which more faithfully reflects God's inclusive love? My hope is that this book will provide encouragement for the church to continue to celebrate and share in the giftedness of all people who are called, that they may be sent.
