The possible influence of crucial Pauline texts on the role of women in the Nkhoma synod of the Central African Presbyterian ChurchGondwe, Hawkins Chepah Tom 11 1900 (has links)
In the Central African Presbyterian Church (C.C.A.P.) women are marginalised in its synods. The Nkhoma Synod has taken the strictest measures in marginalising women in the sense that, unlike the other synods, at the time of writing this dissertation, they did not allow women to be deacons, elders or ministers. The dissertation is a quest to find out the root cause of this marginalisation. The main focus has been on finding out to what extent the Pauline writings influenced this marginalisation.
Chapter 1 describes the extent of women marginalisation in the C.C.A.P. Synods in Malawi, focusing especially on the Nkhoma Synod. Chapter 2 deals with the unparalleled contribution of women to the success of the Nkhoma Synod’s work. The position of women in Malawi and within the Chewa society is discussed in chapter 3. Chapter 4 deals with various interpretations of 1 Corinthians 11:2–16; 14:34, 35. These are Pauline texts which seem to support the marginalisation of women. Chapter 5 presents the results of the research, while in chapter 6 suggestions are made with regard to the future improvement of the position of women. / New Testament / M.A. (Biblical Studies)

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)
