Our Place, Our Voice: Explorations in Contextual Theology - Women in the Anglican Church of Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia 
By Council for Anglican Women's Studies 
$20.00

I liken this anthology to a magnificent patchwork quilt.  The contributors are like my quilting ancestors in America.  Like the quilters, the theologians in this volume come from many different cultures and perspectives; each offers her unique gift that is brought together in this 'quilt'.  This finished piece becomes a contemporary snapshot that tells us where the spirit is moving at a given time within our community.  In time, I believe this work like a great quilt will become a treasured heirloom of the family of God in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia and beyond, so the global community will come to know the richness and diversity of this church.  Susanna Shelton, BA, MDiv, Theologian in Residence at the Anglican Parish of St John's Otumoetai, Tauranga

It is still imperative to provide a space for the explicit hearing of women's voices.  This volume does exactly that.  As we move further into the new millennium it gathers the myriad rich and diverse voices of Anglican women in Aotearoa New Zealand challenging themselves and their church to a new fidelity.  Elaine Wainwright is Professor of Theology, Head of the School of Theology at the University of Auckland, and long-term feminist biblical scholar.
