This book traces the story of the development of women’s ordained ministry in the Church of Ireland from 1976 to the present day - a period in which all involved in the issue were aware of Making History in the Church of Ireland. It offers a story both of personal pilgrimage and of ecclesial development, as the author describes her own journey alongside the dialogue of groups and individuals within the church.

Norma MacMaster grew up in Co. Cavan in the 1940’s and 50’s as a Presbyterian. This is a simple, charming and very informative memoir of those times and of the experiences of a young girl growing up in a very close-knit family, in clear harmony with their neighbours. She tells of her experiences of the Orange marches and dances around the Glorious Twalf, and of the complete lack of any tensions about this with her neighbours, as far as she could see. Norma is now a priest of the Church of Ireland living in Skerries, Co. Dublin.

This is a book about a journey; a journey that began on one path and ended up at a destination never imagined by the author.
This book follows Mark on his journey through Roman Catholic seminary in the 1980’s and 1990’s as he trains for the priesthood; his early years as a Roman Catholic priest; his growing unhappiness and disillusionment and his eventual realisation that the root cause of his unhappiness was not with being a priest but was with being a Roman Catholic priest. The book then goes on to chart Mark’s leap of faith as he reaches out to the Church of Ireland as a new spiritual home, retraining as a Church of Ireland priest, life as a clergyman, marriage and parenthood.
This is a story about confusion, choices, consequences and above all the story of a vocation to the priesthood that transcends denominations, vows, presumptions and prejudice. Above all, it is a story of faith, hope and love.
Mark Hayden is a priest of the Church of Ireland. He is the rector of a large group of parishes in County Wexford.

Begins with the premise that the church is attempting to do sexual ethics without first of all examining the theological ideas of right and wrong as seen in the nature of God. He proposes guiding qualities of creativity and love as the basis for a new framework of Christian sexual ethics which would have major implications for the ongoing debate on homosexuality and for the church’s own self-understanding and ecclesiological identity.

What is theology for, and what is its relationship to prayer, worship and daily living? Often theology appears to be divorced from the everyday concerns of the church, but in this book it is argued that theology is not only relevant but essential to the well-being of the church. Its function is to create ‘a space for belief’ within which our Christian life can be lived out.
