They are the result of discussions among the parties who took part in the consultations. The discussions were initiated through the presentation of related essays. Initially, discussion focused on certain statements and propositions in these essays. On occasions this led to a more general discussion of the given topic, as planned in the program. It is not possible, however, to repeat the additional comments, agreements, and disagreements during the discussions which followed the presentation of the related essays. The publishers dropped their initial idea to publish the notes taken throughout the consultation, and decided, with the permission of those involved, to give a more general summary of the consensus that emerged. In due course a remarkable level of agreement was reached about the role of women recognizable in the earlier history of the church. At first, tendencies not to treat men and women differently based on gender, as both are viewed as parts of Christ's body, allowed for multiple ecclesial ministries, even for what we would nowadays call leadership positions. For various reasons this gradually gave way to a changed evaluation of the role of women. Arising from the more and more prominent status of the church in civil society, certain social views and values about gender differences had more and more of an impact, and this in turn limited the possibilities of women exercising ministries in the church in the way men did. Although gradual, these changes were to have an impact, especially in the areas of priestly duties. This state of affairs, initially caused by socio-cultural conditions, has become surrounded with the aura of holy tradition in the course of the church's pilgrimage to its destination in the doxa of God. This was to be confronted with the (admittedly socio-culturally conditioned) movement that evolved in modern Europe and North America advocating equality for women, and with the realization that various traditional cultures are characterized by the phenomena of patriarchalism and androcentrism. This raised the question as to whether there are inevitable and dogmatic reasons for excluding women from being priests. The answer to this question cannot simply be taken out of the history of the church, as long as that history is identified as the "holy tradition." In other words, it does not make sense to take statements of church fathers, made in specific historical and cultural contexts, and apply them to the questions that have emerged from the spiritual needs of people today in our own cultural context. Rather, a hermeneutical consciousness is required. Although there were different emphases in the detail, a consensus on this issue also emerged among the participants at the consultation. That consensus included the view that, in order to regain a consciousness of the fundamental dimensions of human gender differentiation, it should also take into account insights from the humanities, or in a more general sense, modern professional practice. So the contribution of a psychologist and a professor of law among the participating women broadened the perspective on the issue in a most helpful way. Among the objections to the ordination of Christian women raised by churches in the East and the West alike, there are some that claim to be independent of time or specific sociological context. The male gender of priests is derived, according to these arguments supposedly not conditioned by culture, from an indispensable connection between the function of the priest to represent Christ (or his "Christ-- iconicity") and his male sex and gender. These reasons are ultimately untenable. The same applies to the arguments with Christ-Adam and Eve-Mary typologies when they are used to explain a gender-specific difference that would make the ordination of women impossible. Although the patterns of both arguments reflect formal-patristic thought, they do not correspond to the tradition, since they ignore the universal salvific significance, inclusive of both men and women, of the incarnation of God's Logos. …
