tent to which, a subtle prejudice against women may be
influencing our words and actions. This is not an ac-
cusation but a call for objective analysis in view of the
social crisis in which we are living.

Our memorial also calls on the church to celebrate
the ministry of women in whatever capacities they are
serving in the church. The purpose for this is not to

create a line of demarcation between the ministry of
men and women, but to engage the whole church in
dialog about the role of woman so that we might check
where we are and chart our course for the future.

The association respectfully commends its memorial
to the favorable attention of the convention.
