A fascinating commentary on the entirety of the 1662 BCP, long considered one of the "standards" of classical Anglican divinity, but, like so much of such material, long fallen by the wayside.

From the Introduction
In July 2003 a paper entitled "A Report of the Study Concerning
the Ordination of Women Undertaken by the Anglican Mission in
America: A Survey of the Leading Theological Convictions" (henceforth
the "Report") was made public.1 Subsequently the archbishop of the
Anglican Mission in America, the Most Reverend Emmanuel Kolini
(Archbishop of the Episcopal Province of Rwanda) decided to allow only
men to be ordained as presbyters (priests) and consecrated as bishops,
but to permit both men and women to be made deacons.
Though the Report gives considerable attention to the question as to whether the Scriptures will allow women to be ordained as priests or consecrated as bishops, only 9 of its 141 pages (a modest 6% of its length) are given explicitly to the question of the diaconate. I think there is more that must be said on this matter. This paper is intended to expand and deepen our discussion of the diaconate, thereby inviting further reflection upon the AMiA's current practice.
