The first women priests in Sri Lanka’s Anglican Church say their ordination is a dream come true. “I have no words to describe my joy,” the Rev. Chandrika Mayurawathie, one of the first three women ordained in September into the Church of Ceylon, told Ecumenical News International. “I have waited and prayed for this ordination for years,” said Mayurawathie, who completed a bachelor’s degree in theology in 1996 and was speaking from Colombo.
