Equipping the Saints

Authorization of new rites for ordination in the Church of England (2005) and those included in the Church of Ireland Book of Common Prayer (2004) adds relevance to this collection of papers on Ordination in the Anglican Communion worldwide. The rationale for these is expounded and the background to the Berkeley Statement of the Anglican International Liturgical Commission. To Equip the Saints (2001) is given. Highlights are papers by Paul Bradshaw (England) and Louis Weil (USA). Comments on how ordination is seen and experienced in different continents and cultures are included.
