We are especially looking for the history of women’s
inclusion in the ministries!
Resolution of the Methodist Conference concerning the
ordination of women,
passed in 1966 at its Representative Session:
‘This Conference affirms its conviction that women may properly
be ordained to the Ministry of Word and Sacraments. Recognising that it would
not be wise to take unilateral action at this time, it desires to discuss with
representatives of the Church of England the implications of this principle for
the Ministry of both our Churches and for our recognition of the validity of
the orders of women so ordained in other branches of the Christian
Church.’
