Deconstructing gay discourse in the Dutch Reformed ChurchVan Loggerenberg, Maria Petronella 29 February 2008 (has links)
This dissertation describes efforts to facilitate participation in deconstructing gay
discourse in the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC). Gay discourse is challenged
through the sharing of gay Christians' stories. While serving on the task team on
homosexuality of the General Synod of the DRC a DVD on which gay people share
their stories was produced and employed in order to facilitate participation.
In reflecting on my research journey I have learnt that participation, prejudice, dogma
and context as dimensions of gay discourse lie on a continuum. These dimensions,
and the two extreme positions on the continuum: radical exclusion/antagonist and
radical inclusion/protagonist, are represented in my model of deconstructing gay
discourse. In the process of discourse change, various positions on the continuum
become possible. Shifts happened in the task team and General Synod (DRC),
resulting in a more gay inclusive decision on the position of gay people in the DRC. / Practical Theology / M. Th. (Practical Theology)
