As Kirche Leben Netz<\/em> reports<\/a>, the superiors of 34 women\u2019s orders in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Luxembourg are calling for the admission of women to all church ministries and offices.<\/p>\n

This declaration was made by the German-speaking members of the worldwide UISG<\/a> \u2013 Internationale Vereinigung der Generaloberinnen \/ International Union of Superiors General \u2013 on Wednesday in Innsbruck.<\/p>\n

The sisters call for a new \u201cculture of dialogue, of participation, and of gender equality.\u201d Increasing the proportion of qualified women would contribute to diversity and enrichment at all levels, they say. They note that religious communities could offer examples of \u201chow men and women have worked and do work in brotherly and sisterly collaboration as a rich blessing for people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UISG consists of 2,000 representatives of apostolic women\u2019s communities worldwide with more than 900,000 members. It was at their initiative in 2016 that Pope Francis established a commission on women deacons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
