This volume contains twelve essays—five translated from Italian, three translated from French, and four in their original English—that answer the questions about the history and possible future of women deacons.

It highlights the legacies of a wide variety of women, showing how they have overcome obstacles to their ministries and have transformed cultural constraints to spread the gospel and build the church.

Cripina and Her Sisters explores visual imagery found on burial artifacts of prominent early Christian women. It carefully situates the tomb art within the cultural context of customary Roman commemorations of the dead and provides an in-depth review of women‘s history in the first four centuries of Christianity. From this, a fascinating picture emerges of women‘s authority in the early church--a picture either not readily available or recognized, or even sadly distorted in the written history.

This book discusses from various angels the position of women in the Roman Catholic Church more specifically with regard to the diaconate. Theological, historical, pastoral, canonical and legal considerations are taken into account. The book makes clear that the old discussion is also lively today as only the ordination of women to the priesthood is currently closed for further debate. The thoughts developed in this book are certainly not exhaustive, nor do they all go into the same direction. Yet they can offer stepping stones to a future witch may do right thoroughly to the Church, to women and to the wellbeing of all Christian faithful.
