A Still Small Voice: Women, Ordination, and the Church by Frederick W. Schmidt (

Description: A Still Small Voice by Frederick W. Schmidt Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This text looks at the roles of clergywomen in five denominations - Episcopal, United Methodist, Evangelical Lutheran, Southern Baptist, and Roman Catholic - and argues that there has been a widespread failure within the church itself to examine the position of women in its hierarchy. Publisher Description Writing as a seminary-trained sociologist, Frederick W. Schmidt, Jr. concentrates on the roles of clergywomenin five denominations--Episcopal, United Methodist, Evangelical Lutheran, Southern Baptist, and Roman Catholic. He maintains that behind the façade of equanimity, women are often relegated to the outskirts of church hierarchy. In compelling stories, we learn about the Episcopal woman denied a job because she was too short; the Methodist women burdened by the old saw of women preachers being like dogs walking on their hind legs; the Evangelical Lutheran who, in protest to her denominations trickle-down reform, camped outside her bishops office; and Roman Catholic women who, frustrated and beleaguered by their churchs refusal to ordain them, become activereformers. To substantiate his assertion that churches are cultures as well as organizations, Schmidt examines both official policies regarding womens ordination in each denomination and the cultural context in which those policies must play out. Through their stories, the clergywomen remind us that the church influences society whether society acknowledges it or not. Author Biography Frederick W. Schmidt, Jr., a professor of religious studies, received his doctoral degree from the University of Oxford. He is a contributor to a number of journals, including The Scottish Journal of Theology and Feminist Theory.
