ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses the issues raised by remarkable outburst of activity during the 1970s and 1980s, named as the British Christian women's movement. The key elements of the British Christian women's movement of the 1970s and 1980s may be drawn together around four broad axes. First, the movement was forged in the crucible of the post-1960s cultural shift, which set in motion four broad currents within the churches. Second, the specific outworking of the Anglican women's ordination debate, within the Church of England, was of critical significance for the ethos of the British Christian women's movement. Third, the book discusses the Christian women's Eve – the symbol of the movement – emerged in the Anglican context. Fourth, it does not claim the British Christian women's movement was monolithic. On the contrary, diverse elements demonstrated their allegiance to the wider movement.
