Students compare the spiritual vitality of uonsaeramental with that of sacramental religion, and conclude that the importance of sacraments is vastly exaggerated. If. it is argued that women have nothing to gain by being admitted to the priesthood they will ■be confirmed in that conclusion. It is 1 KM: a use some of us believe in the sacramental system and yet are convinced of the worth of women’s ministry that we cannot assent to an attiude which refuses to ordain them.

Canon C. E. Raven, D.T)., of Liverpool, in his new book, “Women and Holy Orders: A Plea to the Church of England.”
