Selbstverständnis der ostdeutschen Frau in der Brüderbewegung in Mission und Gesellschaft / The self-conception of the East-German woman in the Brethren Movement in mission and societyLindorfer, Cordula 06 1900 (has links)
This empirical and theological research investigates the self-conception of the east-german
women in the Brethren Movement, in order to discover by which role model they predominantly
orientated themselves. Therefore women were interviewed, who are – on one hand – socialised
in the Brethren Movement, and on the other hand have partly realized the GDR role model
through working in a typically male business and/or in a leading position. It was possible to describe
in that study three contrasting typologies. On that foundation, thesis and conclusions were
drawn for the development of identity and the operation of the church.
This project wants to make a contribution to the investigation of the –almost untouched academically
– field of the women in the Brethren Movement. At the same time it should serve as an
historical example in how the church dealt with changing role models. / In dieser Forschungsarbeit wird das Selbstverständnis der ostdeutschen Frauen in der Brüderbewegung
empirisch-theologisch untersucht, um herauszufinden, an welchem der beiden divergierenden
Rollenbilder (DDR-Gesellschaft oder Brüderbewegung) sich diese Frauen stärker orientieren.
Dazu wurden Frauen interviewt, die einerseits in der Brüderbewegung sozialisiert sind, und
andererseits durch ihre Berufstätigkeit in einem männertypischen Beruf und/oder in Leitungspositionen
das DDR-Rollenbild teilweise umgesetzt haben. Im Verlauf dieser Studie ließen sich drei
kontrastierende Typologien von Selbstbildern erkennen. Auf dieser Grundlage wurden Schlussfolgerungen
und Thesen über die Identitätsfindung der Frauen und ihre gelebte Gemeindepraxis
gezogen.
Mit der Betrachtung der Frauen in den Brüdergemeinden will diese qualitative Studie einen
Beitrag dazu leisten, neue Erkenntnisse aus einem wissenschaftlich bisher kaum erforschten Gebiet
zu gewinnen. Gleichzeitig soll die vorliegende Studie anhand dieses historischen Beispiels den
Umgang einer Gemeinde mit sich verändernden Rollenbildern zeigen. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M. Th. (Missiology)

Religion, culture and gender : a study of women's search for gender equality in SwazilandZigira, Christopher Amherst Byuma 11 1900 (has links)
Although Swazi women's contribution to national development has been phenomenal, they like
any other women in patriarchal societies confront an overbearing situation in which they have
been regarded and treated as minors, both in the family and most spheres of public life. This has
largely been due to the social construction of gender. Traditional gender-based attitudes, deeply
ingrained in the people's mind set, not infrequently, have limited women's access to and control
of various aspects of public life, and impinge on their rights, most especially the rights to selfdetermination
and equal participation in the decision making process. Coupled with religion
which influences "the deepest level of what it means to be human" (King, 1994:4) and zealous
cultural conservatism, the Swazi women, with a few notable exceptions, experience an asymmetry
of power due to the pervasive nature of gender. Nonetheless, the history of Swaziland bears testimony, however muted, to a legacy ofwomen's struggles to overcome gendered conditions
imposed upon them either by taking full advantage of their spiritual endowment and charisma to
overcome attitudinal barriers or by organising themselves into groups to work for the social
transformation of their conditions and status.
This study examines the Swazi women's search for gender equality. It discusses the social and
cultural context of gender in Swaziland, the various moments in the Swazi women's quest for
equality and its manifestations, and the push and pull effect of religion and culture. Particular
attention is given to four organisations, namely Lutsango lwakaNgwane (loosely referred to as
women's regiments), the Council of Swaziland Churches, the Women's Resource Centre (Umtapo
waBomake) and Swaziland Action Group Against Abuse (SWAGAA). The study shows that
Swazi women have, across a passage of time, adopted different strategies, including ritual,
economic empowerment and creation of new knowledge through promotion of gender awareness
and social advocacy either in a womanist approach that accepts women's embeddedness in Swazi
culture or in the liberal feminist tradition that espouses women's individual rights. However, the
study shows that the women's movement has yet to reach the critical mass level so as to influence
public policy and come to terms with the deconstruction of the dominant gender ideology. / Religious Studies and Arabic / D. Litt. et Phil. (Religious Studies)

The role of culture and the Roman Catholic Church on HIV and AIDS among the Manyika women of Manicaland, ZimbabweMandeya, Annah Shamiso 07 1900 (has links)
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 103-113) / The advent of HIV and AIDS has had a negative impact on the Catholic, Anglican and Methodist churches (as well as others) in Manicaland, Zimbabwe. This was due to the difficulty of accepting the reality of this pandemic. This happened because the disease came with unbearable psycho-social suffering rooted in stigmatisation and discrimination, especially among women, who were the most vulnerable group. This study critically examines and exposes the effects of HIV and AIDS on Manyika women. The researcher argues that, on the one hand, some religious and cultural practices contributed to the spread of the HIV and AIDS infection. On the other hand, some of these practices discouraged the spread of HIV and AIDS pandemic and needed to be enhanced. Furthermore, even if churches are involved in the battle against HIV, their efforts are hindered by cultural practices such as the Manyikas’ unwillingness to discuss taboo issues such as sex and gender in public. This makes women vulnerable. In addition, the problem has been complicated by the fact that the issue of sexuality is not openly discussed in the churches. Using qualitative methods, the researcher conducted interviews with Catholics and found that there is a need to continually engage with these communities. Their lived experiences can be used to bring about their liberation and improve their capacity to deal with their situation. The argument of this study is that there is an urgent need to liberate and empower women in the era of HIV and AIDS. The journey that has already been started by the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians (“the Circle”) could assist in the liberation of women to deal with the HIV and AIDS pandemic. In addition, this can build on Catholic Church HIV and AIDS interventions among the Manyika people of Zimbabwe as a premise of that process of liberation. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / D.

Women storying HIV/AIDS in communityNieuwmeyer, Susan Mary 11 1900 (has links)
The research is about African women living with HIV and women
grieving the death of loved ones as a result of AIDS. We discuss
the women's preferred care for the ill person and for the family as
well as for the bereaved family. We consider together the effects
of HIV/AIDS in the community: the stigma attached to the disease
and the fears of people that they may contract HIV. The women
and I acknowledge the closely woven relationships between faith
and culture in a predominantly Xhosa community.
Participatory action research is used and contextual feminist
theology within a postmodern social construction approach to
narrative pastoral therapy. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M.Th. (Practical Theology)
