From Canon Roger Hill
Sir, - I see from your columns that dioceses continue to appoint
deans of women's ministry, and wonder whether others share my
bewilderment about why.
In these happy and long-awaited days when ministry is fully open
to women and men, it seems only right that together they should
share both structures of support and encouragement and also
mechanisms for the righting of wrongs and the airing of
grievances.
Holding on to posts that were undoubtedly necessary in the past
makes the Church appear to lack confidence in the decisions taken.
What we need to do is fully to lay hold of the prize we have
gained.
