About the Women's Ordination Conference

Our mission is to advocate and pray for the ordination of women as deacons, priests and bishops into an inclusive and accountable Roman Catholic Church.

Our Vision is to reclaim the early Christian tradition of a discipleship of equals. We dedicate ourselves to return the church we love back to the example of Jesus – to be a radical table community where all are invited and included. We advocate that the Roman Catholic Church affirm women's gifts and respond by calling them to ministry and ordination. We recognize and value all ministries that meet the spiritual needs of the People of God. We celebrate our diversity of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, language and symbol in our church community.

Our goals are to:

• Reform the governance of the Catholic Church, including canon law, to be inclusive, accountable, and transparent
• Bring about equality and justice for women in all dimensions of life and ministry in the Catholic Church
• Incorporate feminist, womanist, mujerista and other liberating spiritualities into every-day Catholicism
