New cards

14

Genesis 2:18, 23

‘‘Woman’’ shares the same substance and nature as ‘man’ and is equal to and distinct from him. Through the creation account and the wisdom and prophetic literature in the bible, women are highly valued representatives of life, wisdom, sustenance and strength.

New cards

15

First century roman world

Women were seen as property of men - ideally subservient daughters and wives, and certainly not suited for public life. In this context, Jesus interations with women showed respect and value that was radically counter-cultural.

New cards

16

Complementarianism

stresses that although men and women are equal in personhood, they are created for different roles.

New cards

17

Egalitarianism

Agrees that men and women are equal. In personhood but holds that there no gender-based limitations on the roles of men and women.

New cards

18

Gender-based Egalitarian position in the church

This position is explicit in the scriptures where God created male and female as equal in all aspect. Gen 1:26-27 makes no distinction between woman and man insofar as both are equally made in his image and both are given the responsibility to rule over his creation.

New cards

19

Biblical support for complementarianism

The case goes back to the Garden of Eden, where God says of Adam, it is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.

New cards

20

Biblical support for complementarianism in matters relating to marriage

Wives submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the lord, for the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body of which he is the savior.

New cards

21

In the realm of church leadrship

Paul instructs Timothy in 1 Timothy 2:11-13 ‘‘ A women should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a women to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

New cards

22

Church Role in Promoting Gender Equality

  1. The church has the duty to contribute to the recognition and liberation of women. Giving women opportunities to make their voice head and express their talents through initiatives which reinforce their worth, their self-esteem, and their uniqueness would enable them to occupy a place in society equal to that of men…

  2. This challenges all members to preach the Gospel that leads people to recognize and accept God’s value, irrespective of sex, religion and culture. If people can understand this value, then their actions will also value the lives of others.

  3. This means that the church members should promote with other individuals to address existing Gender inequality concerns and initiate interventions to address this concern.

New cards

23

Pope Benedict XVI 2011

[who said this statement about church role in promoting gender equality] ‘‘Bishops should encourage and promote the formation of women so that they may assume their proper share of responsibility and participation in the community life of society and of the church.

New cards

24

Gender Based inequality in the church

  1. Admitting the complexity of the issues, some religious norms and traditions can contribute to the formation of gender inequalities and to subordinate the role of women in society

  2. This can be defined as culturally and socially created differences between men and women when both sexes do not have the same share in the decision making in the church.

New cards

25

Gender bias in churches and Christian organizations

  1. Women are expected to serve in the nurturing roles of Children’s ministry; rarely do we see or expect men to volunteer in children’s ministry

  2. Women are often expected to take on the scribe or administrative roles on church task forces and committees, but men are rarely asked to do the same.

  3. Women are absent as speakers at church and national conferences, or are present only as psalmists or singers.

  4. Women who do the same work as men are given different titles. Women are also often paid less or nothing compared to men in compared to men in comparable roles or capacities.

  5. Sermon illustrations position women as temptresses or victims and rarely as agents. Most churches spend far more time highlighting the men of the bible as sources of wisdom and instruction.

  6. Women aren’t expected to lead even when they feel called. As one prominent radio minister put it, ‘‘God only calls women into leadership when men are not in their rightful places..’’

New cards

26

The roman catholic church does not allow women priests.

This is based on the belief that all priests are successors of Jesus’ apostles and as he only appointed men, this role is not open to women.

New cards

27

Protestant Churches accept equality of both sexes

  1. They have had women priests for a longtime (for example, baptists, methodist)

  2. This acceptance is based on the bible, which states that male and female were both created in God’s image. They cite too Jesus own treatment of women - that of dignity and respect.
