Report on the Participation of Women in the Catholic Church in Australia
In August 1996, a key project, The Participation of Women in the Catholic Church in Australia, was launched, beginning an exhaustive research process. The response to this project was overwhelming, and this volume contains the report of this crucial and controversial project.
The research project was undertaken for the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference by the Bishops' Committee for Justice, Development and Peace, Australian Catholic University and the Australian Conference of Leaders of Religious Institutes. The results identify key issues concerning women's participation in the Church. This is the largest research project on a single issue undertaken by the Catholic Church in Australia.
