Abstract

Based on semi-structured interviews with women priests in the Church of England, this book explores the possibilities and limitations of Bourdieu's concept of symbolic violence in the context of the gendered structure of the Church. The book focuses on how women priests are framed as differently human by the institutional practices and the structure and examines how the discourses of the institutional Church work to silence women's protest. Symbolic violence is delivered through the interpersonal as well as the structure, though women priests have found ways of resisting such violence and rebelling against their differentiation.
