"Sexist socialising of children in the Sunday schools of the church of the province of Southern Africa : a theological ethical study"Tuckey, Caroline 11 1900 (has links)
Sexist socialisation in the church starts from childhood. The Sunday school, the Christian
community and parents all play a role in transmitting sexist values to children. Sexism is
present in the interpretation, use and teaching of scripture as well as the hierarchy, roles,
structures, language, worship and symbols of the church. These subconsciously influence
children. People's faith may be shaken when the sexist nature of some of these beliefs is
exposed. Sexist socialisation is detrimental as the growth and witness of the church may be
stunted. Hence there is a need to develop non-sexist Christian education. Insights and tools
from feminist theology help in this programme. The conclusions are tentative as such a
process is evolutionary, but important. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / Th. M. (Theological Ethics)

Projevy antifeminismu v současném učení římskokatolické církve / Manifests of antifeminism in contemporary teaching of the Roman Catholic ChurchLanghammerová, Gabriela January 2020 (has links)
The diploma thesis Antifeminism in Contemporary Teaching of the Roman Catholic Church examines the mechanisms which shape the identity of women in Roman Catholic teachings. This is the starting point for the subsequent constitution of gender order, i.e. the way the relationship between man and woman is constructed, and in which woman is subordinated to man. To support the subordinate position of women, Roman Catholic theology implemented theory of complementarity into its teachings. This inequality provides an important underpinning of gender-based violence. Feminist movement and feminist theology, such as that of Mary Daly brought new analytical tools in the 1960s and 1970s to understand the functioning of the social mechanisms that lead to women's subordination. These tools are, in particular, feminist critique and perspective, critique of power relations and of androcentrism, and a specifically feminist understanding of woman's identity. The Istanbul Convention, with its perspective that rejects inequality, promotes criticism of power relations and describes violence against women as gender-based violence, is conceptually in accordance with the methods and goals of the feminist movement as well as with democratic principles. In particular, it agrees with them on the issue of gender-based...

A critique of sex and power within the womanist liberation theology: human dignity-relationship perspectiveMtshiselwa, Pumla 01 1900 (has links)
“The power of sex to dominate and the ability of power to obtain sex in order to
dominate” is at the crux of the researchers’ investigation. The researcher
problematizes the usage of power for the attainment of sexual favours. At the heart of
this research is the question, what is at the root of the exploitation and “sexifying” of
power by either the granter or the recipients of sexual favours. The researcher utilises
various lenses in exploring the research problem. Such lenses include a social lens
which zooms in at the social power possessed by men over women in society and a
theological lens which zooms in on the domination of men over women in scripture.
In an attempt to explore the subject at hand, the author explores the role of patriarchy,
unequal opportunities between men and women and poverty as some of the primary
proponents for those who offer themselves as sex objects to those in power. In most
cases, it is women who are at the suffering end of poverty; it is also women who are
forced to use their bodies for sex, this, therefore, means that women are doubly
oppressed. Part of the socialised “sexual oppression” of women is the notion that
women were created for marriage, work, labour and the pleasure of men.
Anthropologically, men and women are the crown of creation and are worthy of dignity.
It is, therefore, a necessity for women to reclaim their dignity.
The researcher is aware of the complex nature of sex which varies from negative to
positive experiences depending on the individual. In a society that views sex as a
commodity and is permissive in its perception of sex, in a society that has a high rate
of pornography, swinging and swapping. The researcher probes the “humanising” of
sex so that it is not just a physical activity but an intimate act of love and affection. The
principles for the above involves viewing sex as personal and relational; sex as
exclusive and unique; sex as fruitful and productive; sex and selfless and sacrificial
and an acknowledgement of sex as multi-dimensional.
Though the writer comes from a religious background and is the Wesleyan tradition,
though she converses with a faith community in Eersterust as part of her quantitative research; she does not evade confronting the reality of the bible as a document flawed
with patriarchy, clothed in culture and set in a particular context.
The author who is Wesleyan draws from this rich heritage and compares the times of
John Wesley which were characterised by, “Champagne, dice or a neighbour’s
spouse” to the South African context. She utilises the Wesleyan quadrilateral to draw
these parallels.
All these findings led the author to the conclusion that conversations, training, safe
space and capacitating of those in power, those abusing power, those attracted to
power must be held for the restoration of human dignity with particular reference to
women. The church remains a powerful and efficient platform for the above. The
Church can no longer evade her role in rectifying the damage caused by patriarchy as
assumedly condoned by the bible. The church can no longer evader her role in the
restoration of human dignity. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Systematic Theology)

Caring with women married to Dutch Reformed clergymen: narratives of pain, survival and hopeSwart, Chené 30 November 2003 (has links)
The purpose of this research journey was twofold: (1) to investigate the ways in which the lives of women married to clergymen have been influenced by their position in the Dutch Reformed Church and (2) to collaboratively present ways of caring and supporting these women living within this reality. Discourse analysis explored the taken-for-granted truths and power relationships that inform these women's daily lives. Fifteen women embarked on this feminist narrative participatory action research journey, not only to tell their stories but also to negotiate for change in current practices as well as their own contexts. This research journey challenges the institutional structure of the Church through narratives of hope, survival and pain, as storied in a book (Lamentations and Butterflies, 2003), that were collaboratively constructed by the women living these realities. This book and research journey offers a deeper understanding of the experience of being a clergyman's wife in the Dutch Reformed Church. / Practical Theology / M.Th. (Practical Theology)

Reconstructing rainbows in a remarried family : narratives of a diverse group of female adolescents 'doing family' after divorceBotha, Carolina Stephanusina 30 November 2003 (has links)
This research journey investigated the ways in which (1) the lives of adolescents have been influenced by parental divorce and subsequent remarriage, (2) exploring the relationships participants have with biological, nonresidential fathers and (3) to collaboratively present ways of doing family in alternative.
Four adolescent girls took part in group conversations where they could were empowered to have their voices heard in a society where they are usually marginalized and silenced. As a result of these conversations a family game, FunFam, was developed that aimed to assist families in expanding communication within the family.
Normalizing prescriptive discourses about divorce and remarriage were deconstructed to offer participants the opportunity to re-author their stories about their families. The second part of the research journey explored the problem-saturated stories that these four participants had with their biological, nonresidential fathers. They deconstructed the discourses that influenced this relationship and redefined the relationship to suit their expectations and wishes. / Practical Theology / M.Th.

"Wanneer hoop groei in 'n waaghalsige verbeelding": 'n pastorale blik op kuns in 'n konteks van gestremdheidJoubert, Maryna 30 November 2007 (has links)
Afrikaans text, with Afrikaans and English summaries / Despite legislation to the effect intended to ensure the position of the disabled in society, disabled persons still find themselves largely marginalized in the South African context.
During this research a group of about twenty participants, of whom about one-half are disabled, were involved in an inclusive process of art-making. The aim of the research was to challenge the dominant discourse which holds that making art is only for the select, talented few.
This research was undertaken according to the scientific guidelines of practical theology. Contextual theology was used as a starting point, with emphasis on the participatory- and narrative approaches. The characteristics of pastoral care created an atmosphere which was conducive to the disabled participants discovering and developing hope for a more rewarding future.
The research culminated in an exhibition in a national museum, which could contribute to an additional dimension in the narrative of the disabled participants. / Ten spyte van wetgewing om die inklusiewe posisie van die gestremde in die
samelewing te verseker, is gestremdes in die Suid Afrikaanse konteks nog
grootliks gemarginaliseerd. Vanuit hierdie gemarginaliseerde posisie vind
gestremdes dit moeilik en dikwels onmoontlik om hul unieke potensiaal te
ontwikkel om sodoende 'n beter lewenskwaliteit lewe te vestig.
'n Groep van ongeveer twintig deelnemers, waarvan die helfte gestremd is, is
tydens hierdie navorsing in 'n inklusiewe konteks van kunsmaak betrek. Die
doel van die navorsing is om diskoerse uit te daag wat bepaal dat kunsmaak
net vir unieke, talentvolle mense beskore was. Teen die agtergrond van 'n
postmoderne epistemologie kon gestremdes sonder vooraf opgestelde reels en
regulasies uiting gee aan hul verbeelding en sodoende waaghalsig wees in die
proses van kunsmaak.
Hierdie navorsing het plaasgevind volgens die wetenskaplike riglyne van
praktiese teologie. Kontekstuele teologie is as 'n teologiese vertrekpunt gebruik,
met die klem op die deelnemende en narratiewe benaderings. Sodoende is
ruimte geskep vir die ontdekking sowel as die ontwikkeling van die potensiaal
van die gestremde. Die eienskappe van pastorale sorg het 'n atmosfeer tydens
die kunsmaaksessies geskep waarbinne die deelnemers in 'n veilige konteks
hoop op 'n bykomstige realiteit en 'n beter toekoms kon ontdek en ontwikkel.
Die navorsing het gekulmineer in 'n kunsuitstalling in 'n nasionale museum wat
kan bydra tot 'n bykomstige dimensie in die verhaal en identiteit van die
gestremdes. / Practical Theology / M. Th. (Practical Theology eith specialisation in Pastoral Therapy)

A gender-critical approach to the Pauline material and the Zimbabwean context with specific reference to the position and role of women in selected denominationsTownshend, Patricia Olwyn 02 1900 (has links)
In this work I have used Pierre Bourdieu's concept of habitus as a springboard to examine the
Pauline tradition in the light of Zimbabwe-African, cultural, legal and social attitudes to women. I
have highlighted the conflict between the practices defined by Zimbabwean Constitutional law
regarding the status of women and what is the actual situation on the ground, also considering the
role of the church in confronting or conforming to the cultural norms. I have likewise highlighted
the conflict in the Pauline tradition where one hand women are given more active roles in the
church than could be expected according to the customs of the time, but on the other hand are still
bound by an oppressive tradition. I have concluded by suggesting how the church can act in order
to break free of this oppressive tradition and bring about change in the habitus of the society. / New Testament / M. Th. (New Testament)

Feminist pastoral care approach in deconstructing the effects of patriarchy on Basotho women's identities experiencing domestic violence in marital relationsMatsumunyane, Eliza Matsela 06 1900 (has links)
The study is concerned with deconstructing the effects of patriarchal discourses on the identities of women experiencing domestic violence in marital relationships. It is explored within a feminist pastoral care framework within the Basotho culture. This is seen through the lens of Basotho culture and the Christian church as understood in an emerging postmodern culture.
The study explores and deconstructs patriarchal beliefs around the identities of Basotho women experiencing domestic violence in marital relationships through discursive conversations.
This study has sought to benefit any Mosotho woman who suffers under the control and abuse of her husband. The study does this by giving her a voice to deconstruct the silencing and disempowering patriarchal stories/identities. In turn it hopefully allows her to construct her own empowering preferred multiple identities without blaming anybody.
However, by the very nature of this study,’ the effects of patriarchy on identities of Basotho women experiencing domestic violence in marital relations’ there was partiality and subjectivity throughout my discussions and reflections, as I found it hard to stand back from my resentment. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Practical Theology)
