The jacket is somewhat faded at the spine.. 8vo (9.25 inches tall) . Indexes, notes, appendices. Description: Dust jacket design by Lilian Brule. The publisher's blurb reads: ''Resonates to the call of Jesus in today's church. In his ministry Jesus reached out to women and others who were being overlooked or oppressed. He offered them new dignity and place in his vision of the future. He enlisted their services, even to be the first witnesses of his resurrection. This book responds to a similar desire for women to minister in parishes, schools and hospitals and to meet other contemporary needs of the church. The theme of the book calls us to a strong and loyal dialog on this issue. It challenges the church to reevaluate the role of the laity and the call to priestly ministry. The authors -- faculty members of the Catholic Theological Union at Chicago --are experienced writers and active in theological and ministerial circles. They have no intention of preempting the decision-making role of the Pope and bishops but offer a common vision from their research and pastoral experience.''
