Unsure where to start?	Or do you want to search our website?
You could begin with one of these documents: * What is it all about? An introduction in simple language. * The arguments in short. A summary of the arguments given for or against the ordination of women. * Our Time Line This traces the argument through time. * Our sitemap. * Our searchable bibliography.	If you want to find something definite or particular, it is better to use our site search engine. Type the word(s) or the phrase you are looking for in the box, and then click on the Search button below. I am still fine-tuning this facility. Please, let me know of any problems you may experience!

Our Vision We believe in God for whom love is truly the highest priority, who expects the Church to be a community of care and mutual concern, brothers and sisters among whom leaders are servants and to whom power means comfort and healing. We believe in God who cherishes every part of our personality, our intelligence and spiritual gifts, but also our bodies, our sexuality, our longing for relationships, warmth and touch. We believe in God who has created all human beings to be sons and daughters, who calls both men and women equally to leadership and ministry in the Kingdom of Love. We believe in God who does not exact cruel sacrifices from us, but heroic deeds of love as Jesus showed us, deeds of generosity, a God who wants us to respect and love ourselves while giving and sharing of our best for the sake of others. We believe in God who expects us to be creative and free, who wants us to express our opinions honestly, to fight with all our heart and mind for truth and justice rather than blindly obey commands, to trustingly challenge those in authority when they make mistakes. We are convinced that God revealed Good News, a breathtaking inspiration that gives meaning to our lives, an ideal against which we measure ourselves and our community of faith, a source of hope that makes us happy and proud to be followers of Christ.
