Abstract

Can women be ordained to the priesthood? The question of admitting women to the priesthood is the most recent topic in the ecumenical dialogue and it is tending to become the most contentious one. Today many women feel that they are called by God into the church ministry of service. From the theological point of view diakonia is an integral part of the mission of the church. “For the haling of the world†and Christians are mandated to serve according to their gifts and skills. In today’s ecclesiastical and social scenario, is ordination of women necessary for the diaconial ministry? This paper is an attempt to analyze the importance of the diaconial ministries and the necessity of women ordination for this ministry.
