”En antologi med essäer av kvinnor som representerar ett brett internationellt perspektiv och som kommer från olika bakgrunder, som tror att kyrkan inte kan komma fram till en vis och upplyst förståelse av familjen utan att lyssna till kvinnor.”

En av de 44 medverkande författarna i antologin är vår alldeles egen syster Madeleine Fredell OP vars essä heter “The Apostle to the Apostles: women preaching the good news “ och finns i del 4 som heter “Institutions and structures”
”Still on the subject of preaching, Madeleine Fredell argues that “there are many passages in the Bible that would benefit from being expounded by women.” She appeals for a review of Canon Law so that not only ordained ministers but lay women and men can also preach the homily, in recognition of the fact that all the baptized are called to be “priest, prophet and king, representing Christ to our fellow pilgrims.”

NCR skriver om den kommande boken Women speak…….
……i vilken det bla sägs ifrån att sluta studera kvinnor som studieobjekt !
”Citing Francis’ call in 2013 for the church to study a theology of womanhood, the editors say ”such comments reduce women to objects of study, a separate category of reflection.”
”We resist … any suggestion that the Church needs a theology of ’Woman’ or ’womanhood,'” they continue. ”Rather than a deeper theology of women, we say that the Church needs a deeper theology of the human — a theological anthropology that can be developed only by the full inclusion of women in the process of theological reflection informed by the experiential realities of daily life.”
