The second to a series of podcasts, as a source of reflection and preaching on the Synod in Rome this year. It is based on the second reading from Philippians, because there we hear the voice of Paul and the experience of the early Church.

For October, the podcasts will focus on the second reading each Sunday. These are taken from Philippians and 1 Thessalonians. As such, we hear the voice of earliest communities of faith and also the voice of the greatest pastor, Paul himself. It is my hope that such reflections will be a foundation for reflection and preaching during the month of October.

In this podcast, an attempt is made to open up the question of who may be ordained in the Church. Working as a biblical scholar and using the historical critical method, I trace the emergence of ministries across the first 100 years of Christianity and the eventual exclusion of women, contrary to the teaching and practice of St Paul.
