  • Discursive Mediation of the Women's Ordination Debate
    234 Chapter 4 Discursive mediation of the women's ordination debate "Perhaps those who oppose women's ordination should make clearer that supporters of women's ordination are not all tarred with the same brush, and supporters of women's ordination should clearly distance themselves from arguments that they do not endorse."1 4.1 Discourse recognition in the women's ordination debate The major aim of this thesis has been to identify how the press has constructed the debate over the ordination of women to the priesthood in the Anglican Church in Australia. This goal is facilitated by a comparison of the discourses in news reports with those in non-mass media texts that informed and represented the synod debates. Before outlining the views that make up the women's ordination debate, it is appropriate to reflect on 'discourse' itself. In the Introduction I drew attention to Kress' definition: "Discourses are organisations of meanings which are prefigured in, determined by, and existent in social and material structures and processes. Discourse represents the mode in which ideology finds its discursive expression."2 235 In discourse recognition, the press take a 'realist' view. They recognise views articulated by identifiable groups that shape 'the social'. They accept church to some degree as an institutional participant in society, in much the same way as the education system, or parliament or the law. However, findings outlined in Chapter Three suggest that there is variation between newspapers in the degree of credibility attached to church through evaluation of its clerical participants. It was argued from findings that 'women' also are deemed to be a group that comprise 'the social' and that, for some newspapers more than others, the women's ordination debate was constructed more in the field of feminism than church.

To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made. Robert Tong Student number n 6958923 20 June 2012 i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe a significant debt to Professor Myles McGregor-Lowndes OAM. As Director of the Australian Centre of Philanthropy and Nonprofit Studies, Myles has a very active interest in corporate governance for philanthropic and non-profit organisations. Myles constantly urged me to articulate the jurisprudence while I was more taken by Anglican legal and constitutional history. Both his patience and prodding are gratefully acknowledged by this finished work. Professor Bill Duncan has provided welcome ‘big picture’ comment and direction. My secretaries Rosemary Brown and Estelle Pulman have cheerfully typed obscure passages from judgments ancient and modern and I thank them. Beryl Bessie’s proof reading saved me from many errors. To my wife Winsome for her forbearance, patience and encouragement, thanks. The lost weekends and evenings are about to return! My children willing aided me with word processing lessons and their collective thesis writing experiences.
