New Course coming soon to
People’s Catholic Seminary
PCS 306 - Visionary Women Leaders in Christianity
COURSE
DESCRIPTION
This course explores “Women
Christianity” from a historical perspective, following the story from biblical
times to the present day. Women are the “elephant in the Roman Catholic
Church.” They have been perpetually silenced, ignored and discounted. If the Church
is to survive, it is evident that it must be a more inclusive Church where the
gifts of women and men are equally recognized, and where the present
understanding of ordination is transformed from the bottom up.

Main Text: The Elephant in the Church by Mary T.
Malone
Women are the elephant in the Church. They have
been perpetually silenced, ignored and discounted. They are not required to
make any contribution to the Church, except for obedience. This book explores
what the author terms Women Christianity from a historical perspective,
following the story from biblical times to the present day. If the Christian
Church is to survive, it is clear that it must be a more inclusive Church where
the gifts of women and men are equally recognised, and where the whole notion
of ordination has to be revamped from the bottom up. First published in 2014,
this revised edition includes an interview with the author in how her view on
the role of women in the Church has changed over recent years. It also includes
a new introduction by the former President of Ireland, Mary McAleese.
