Want to discover women's leadership roles in the Church during the first 1000 years of Christianity? Were women ever ordained deacons? priests? bishops? Why did it take so long for Christian denominations to allow the ordination of women? Why does the Vatican still hold that women cannot be ordained? What can be done about the sexual bigotry practiced by the Vatican and the Catholic Church hierarchy? Do these questions interest you? If so, and you are over 50, come and join the discussion.
