DLAMINI, Ntobeko. Ordination of women to the ministry of word and sacraments: A turning point in the history of the Methodist Church of Southern Africa. Studia Hist. Ecc. [online]. 2017, vol.43, n.3, pp.1-16. ISSN 2412-4265. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2412-4265/3162.
In 2016, the Methodist Church of Southern Africa (MCSA) celebrated 40 years since the first woman was ordained to the ministry of Word and Sacraments (1976-2016). The MCSA Conference of 1976 ordained the first woman to the ministry of Word and Sacraments, a verdict that was long overdue. This became a turning point in the history of the MCSA. This document seeks to highlight the role of women in the MCSA prior to and after the 1976 Conference resolution. Included herein are key controversies, statements and events in the ministry of women within the MCSA.
