Noel Cox has provided the church with a very thorough review and analysis of a number of profound ontological and ecclesial issues as he considers the validity and scope of Local ordained Ministry within the Anglican Communion. Noel's coverage of the issues within the Anglican Roman Catholic dialogue alone are very thorough.

Noel wrote within a province of the Anglican Communion which has determined to fully embrace the ordination of women and to respect their vocation as universally applicable and recognisable from this part of the Body of Christ. The same can be said to apply for those who are duly selected and appropriately trained with local Ordained Ministry licenses.
