Reflections on the European Response to the Ecumenical Decade of Churches in Solidarity With Women (Isaiah 41 v 18)
When the Ecumenical Decade of Churches in Solidarity with Women, 1988-1998, was launched, the Conference of European Churches committed itself to its aims. This book is a contribution to the ongoing debate on the place of women and men in the Church but more particularly it is a follow up of the mid-Decade team visits which attracted much attention in Europe during 1995 and 1996. The Decade has given a new impetus in raising awareness of women's concerns both for men and women. It is the prayer of those who have been involved in the preparation of this book, that all within the church will be challenged by what is said here and will be led to act, each in his or her own way to fulfil the aims of the Decade.
