Was uns entgeht, wenn wir die Gaben und Erfahrungen von Frauen beim Bau von Gottes Reich übergehen
Dass auch heute noch oft ausschließlich Männer die "wichtigen" Bereiche der Gemeinde leiten, ist durchaus fragwürdig. In diesem einfühlsamen, aber auch provokanten Liebesbrief an die Gemeinde lädt Sarah Bessey dazu ein, die von Menschen aufgestellten Hindernisse abzubauen und zuzulassen, dass Frauen mit ihren gottgegebenen Gaben wertvolle Beiträge leisten können. Sie betrachtet, wie Jesus Frauen an der Verkündigung des Evangeliums beteiligt hat, und beschreibt, wie das Reich Gottes aussehen könnte, wenn jeder mit seinen Gaben an dessen Bau beteiligt ist. Ein theologisch fundiertes Buch, das mit prägnanten Beispielen die Not vieler Frauen aufgreift und Auswege aus dem Dilemma aufzeigt.
