Ordination of Women in the Anglican Communion

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The ordination of women in the Anglican Communion has become increasingly widely accepted in recent years. Some provinces within the Anglican Communion, such as the Episcopal Church in the United States of America (TEC), the Anglican Church of New Zealand, the Anglican Church of Canada and the Anglican Church of Australia, ordain women as deacons, priests and bishops, while a number of other provinces, as noted in the table below, have removed canonical bars to women bishops but have not yet consecrated any. Other provinces ordain women as deacons and priests but not as bishops; others still as deacons only; and seven provinces have yet to approve the ordination of women to any order of ministry.
