Book Synopsis Women and Religion in England by : Patricia Crawford
Download or read book Women and Religion in England written by Patricia Crawford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patricia Crawford explores how the study of gender can enhance our understanding of religious history, in this study of women and their apprehensions of God in early modern England. The book has three broad themes: the role of women in the religious upheaval in the period from the Reformation to the Restoration; the significance of religion to contemporary women, focusing on the range of practices and beliefs; and the role of gender in the period. The author argues that religion in the early modern period cannot be understood without a perception of the gendered nature of its beliefs, institutions and language. Contemporary religious ideology reinforced women's inferior position, but, as the author shows, it was possible for some women to transcend these beliefs and profoundly influence history.

Book excerpt: Contending that the current controversy over the role and status of women in the Church of England has its origins in the 19th century, Heeney here explores the early forms of female subordination and the limited roles women were allowed to play in Church activities and describes the gradual movement toward equality through 1930, as Church feminism increased and women won the right to participate in Church elections and act as preachers, pastors, and governors.

Book Synopsis Women Bishops in the Church of England? by : Church of England. House of Bishops
Download or read book Women Bishops in the Church of England? written by Church of England. House of Bishops and published by Church House Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In July 2000, the General Synod of the Church of England passed a motion asking the House of Bishops to initiate further theological study on the episcopate, focusing on the issues that need to be addressed in preparation for the debate on women in the episcopate in the Church of England. This report is the result of that reflection. The report sets out as clearly and objectively as possible the options open to the Church of England in this matter and outlines the surrounding theological and practical issues. The report discusses: the background to the debate; the historical development of episcopacy; the parameters for a theologically responsible debate on women and the episcopate; the development of women's ministry; the timing - whether now is the right time to ordain women bishops; the theological and practical consequences of possible future options.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, written by a leading Orthodox theologian, offers a serious re-examination of the role of women in the Church.

Book Synopsis Women and Ordination in the Christian Churches by : Ian Jones
Download or read book Women and Ordination in the Christian Churches written by Ian Jones and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growth of women's ordained ministry is one of the most remarkable and significant developments in the recent history of Christianity. This collection of essays brings together leading contributors from both academic and church contexts to explore Christian experiences of ordaining women in theological, sociological, historical and anthropological perspective. Key questions include: How have national, denominational and ecclesial cultures shaped the different ways in which women's ordination is debated and/or enacted? What differences have women's ordained ministry, and debates on women's ordination, made in various church contexts? What 'unfinished business' remains (in both congregational and wider ministry)? How have Christians variously conceived ordained ministry which includes both women and men? How do ordained women and men work together in practice? What have been the particular implications for female clergy? And for male clergy? What distinctive issues are raised by women's entry into senior ordained/leadership positions? How do episcopal and non-episcopal traditions differ in this?

Book Synopsis Religion, Gender, and Industry by : Peter S Forsaith
Download or read book Religion, Gender, and Industry written by Peter S Forsaith and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questions have been raised in recent decades about the place of women in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, in church and society during a time of vast industrial change. These topics are broad, but can be seen in microcosm in one small area of the English Midlands: the parish of Madeley, Shropshire, in which Coalbrookdale became synonymous with the industrial age. Here, the evangelical Methodist clergyman John Fletcher (1729-1785) ministered between 1760 and 1785, among a population including Roman Catholics and Quakers, as well as people indifferent to religion. For nearly sixty years after his death, two women, Fletcher's widow and later her protege, had virtual charge of the parish, which became one of the last examples of Methodism within the Church of England. Through examining this specific locality, with its potential for religious tension and great social significance, this multidisciplinary collection of essays engages with developing areas of research. In addition to furthering knowledge of Madeley parish and its relation to larger themes of religion, gender and industry in eighteenth-century Britain, the impact of the Fletchers in nineteenth-century American Methodism is examined.
Book Synopsis For the Good of the Church by : Gabrielle Thomas
Download or read book For the Good of the Church written by Gabrielle Thomas and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do we need to learn and receive from the other to help us address challenges or wounds in our own tradition? That is the key question asked in what has come to be known as ‘receptive ecumenism’. And nowhere is this question more pressing and pertinent than in women’s experiences within the church. Based on qualitative research from five focus groups, 'For the Good of the Church' expose the difficulties women face when they work in a church – sexism, unfulfilled vocation, and abuse of power and privilege, as well as the wide range of gifts and skills which women bring in light of these. The second part of the book continues to draw on the particular wounds and gifts, which arise in the focus groups. Specific case studies are used to identify gifts of theology, practice, experience, vocation and power. Against negative prognoses of an ‘ecumenical winter’, Gabrielle Thomas reveals how radically different theological and ecclesiological perspectives can be a space for learning and receiving gifts for the well-being of the whole Church.

Book Synopsis The Church's Other Half by : Trevor Beeson
Download or read book The Church's Other Half written by Trevor Beeson and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women have always constituted at least half of the churchs membership, but for almost 2,000 years were excluded from any significant part in its leadership. After the example of Jesus, the earliest Christian communities were wholly inclusive in their organisation, but a patriarchal model derived from the pattern of the secular Greco-Roman societies was soon adopted. This restricted women to subordinate roles from which the struggle to escape continues. However, there were always some courageous and often highly-talented women who sought to exercise a Christian ministry within, but usually outside, the churchs structures. Focusing on the Church in England, Trevor Beeson provides short lives of some of these. Among them are several well-known historical figures such as Hilda of Whitby, but the majority of the book celebrates the accomplishments of women in the last two hundred years in religious life, social reform, literature and theology, and above all in the ordained ministry. More than 5000 women have been ordained to the priesthood so far, and in 2012 the consecration of women as bishops is likely to be authorised. Trevor Beeson reflects on the long-term consequences of a momentous change in the churchs life which should result in the release all its members from the restrictions of a still largely male-orientated faith community.

Book Synopsis Women Towards Priesthood by : Jacqueline Field-Bibb
Download or read book Women Towards Priesthood written by Jacqueline Field-Bibb and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1991-02-22 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book charts the aspirations of women towards priesthood and the resistance that they have encountered. It brings together a record of official documents and debates on the issue that takes place over the last two hundred years in the English Methodist Church, the Church of England, and the Roman Catholic Church. These debates are interpreted at a number of levels, and the author draws on sociology, history, biblical studies, theology, and psychoanalysis in the course of her presentation. In the author's view it is the patriarchalisation of ecclesiastical structures, and the subsequent theological and christological justification given over to this, which emerges as a recurring pattern in the debate. Dr Field-Bibb offers a feminist analysis of such resistance to the ordination of women, in an attempt to break down what she sees as the false consciousness engendered by the propagation of subversive symbols.
