“Is it your will…?” The First Ordination of Women to the Priesthood.
As I look at the order of service for the first women to be ordained as a priest in the Diocese of London I notice something is wrong. On the cover there is the place, the date and the time of the service. It does not mention the ordaining bishop, which would normally appear on the cover, and the list of candidates does not include any parishes which is also very strange. Why? I will tell you why. This is what I recall of that day.
