Abstract
"lt is an insurmountable task to write on Women in the Ministry. Not the least of the problems being that, although it may surprise some, women vary as much in their view of the ministry and theology as their less novel and more accepted male colleagues. lt is similarly difficult in that such an article must be written from a personal point of view. Therefore, I can share only my own feelings and views, and hope that at least some of them will echo the feelings and experiences of other women. Essentially though, each person's ministry will be the result of their own training, background and personality, and most importantly their own theology and individual faith. At the outset of this article I should like to explore three basic assumptions that are made about women in the 'Ministry'. The first is rather important, in that it asks an essential question - are we now accepted? Here I find a real difficulty in that I was fortunate enough to leave college, and to settle quite quickly into a team ministry in which I felt both accepted, and also I hope, acceptable; perhaps as with any Minister the ultimate verdict lies with the churches to whom we minister"
