| Summary: | The arguments of the rivals of women's appointment or ordination are perpetually founded on a gender biased base methods idea. In the meantime, the contentions of the advocates of women's ordination are impacted and moulded by those equivalent feminist’s ideas which they are endeavouring to address. Thus, the arguments for women's ordination are unfit to forge another theology in which the full complement of mankind including Christian women as made in the image of God is a non-debatable aspect. Liberation from the religious perspective, requires a re-assessment of the formality and structures upon which the Church is grounded. The Church could supplant inflexible order and formality with progressively libertarian structures and have more support in the administration for women. Unmistakably, increasing theological and scriptural education and gathering of studies could be accomplished in Churches, with the result of separating unconsciousness and partiality. The study reflects upon Biblical standards which stand to move the Diocese of Grahamstown Anglican Communion in South Africa forward from its past patriarchal structures in a study using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
