Based on the narratives of vocation and recognition of the first ordained women in the Church of Sweden, this book aims to complement and challenge standard historical accounts of a ground-breaking reform and contribute to the understanding of similar processes of change in other churches. -- .
On Palm Sunday 1960, three women knelt in front of an altar to be ordained as the first female priests in the Church of Sweden. During the 1960s, 54 women were admitted into the priesthood. This book tells the story of these pioneers through an analysis of their own personal narratives. Viewed through the dual analytical lens of the theological concept of vocation and the social theorist Axel Honneth’s concept of recognition, these narratives provide a rich and complex picture of a groundbreaking reform that complements and challenges established historical narratives and contributes to the understanding of similar processes of change in other churches. -- .
