Book excerpt: Celibacy distinguishes Roman Catholic priestly ministers of the Latin Rite from their colleagues of other churches. What do African church ministers, both Roman Catholic and ministers of other churches, think about the law of ministerial celibacy? Thousands of celibate ministers used to enter Africa from Western countries, but in the West organized religion is in a profound crisis, and Roman Catholic seminaries are nearly empty -- proscribed ministerial celibacy being one of the main reasons. In Africa the Roman Catholic church is growing rapidly in terms of numbers, but in the dominant worldview of sub-Saharan Africa, vital interrelatedness and the continuation of the lineage are paramount issues. This ecumenical study looks at what African church ministers believe about the law of ministerial celibacy, with the thesis that, for African church ministers, celibacy is a major challenge. In this study's field research, 150 church ministers (both men and women, both married and unmarried, from a variety of churches, selected by a snowball sampling) were approached for an interview and a survey. Matthew 19:3-12, where Jesus of Nazareth distinguishes three types of eunuchs, was used as a catalyst. The Nairobi area was chosen because it is the biggest metropolitan concentration of East Africa. Inhabitants are drawn here from all over the country, the continent, and the world. They are exposed to the local and the global, the old and the new.

Download or read book Celibacy Culture and Society written by Elisa Janine Sobo and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does celibacy mean for individuals and for the people around them? What function does it serve? This is the first cross-cultural inquiry into the practice of celibacy around the world and through the ages, among groups as diverse as Kenyan villagers and U.S. prisoners, Mazatec Shamans and Buddhist nuns and monks, Shaker church members and anorexic women. The examples of celibacy described here illustrate the complex relationship between human sexuality and its particular sociocultural context. Ideas about the body, gender, family, work, religion, health, and other dimensions of life come sharply into focus as the contributors examine the many practices and institutions surrounding sexual abstinence. They show that, though celibacy is certainly sometimes a punishment or a deliberate ritual abstinence, it also serves many other social and material functions and in some cases contributes to kin-group survival and well-being. Celibacy, Culture, and Society represents a significant step toward understanding the functions and meanings of sexuality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This newly published book, "AFRICAN CULTURE IS NOT TO BLAME (Western Culture Is To Blame) written by Dr. P.E. Aligwekwe has a very important message both for the West and for Africa; but most particularly for the West. The book is a very audacious speaking out of a biting truth avoided or minimized by the guilty, sidetracked by the nonchalant, purposely misrepresented by the addict, or distorted by the agnostic and arrogant. The book ́s realism is an asset to knowing for certain where the source of our contemporary sexual moral decadence and the very much needed solution really lie. Learn in it something about the main causes and bases of priest/clergy sexual abuse that is nowadays the general topic of the day. Learn more about the origin and main causes of homosexuality in humans, and also about prostitution, abortion and other the main social topics of our day. Surely you will want to read this exiting book, and pass it on to whomever you care for – family, friend or colleague. Besides, you will bring its substance to the knowledge of as many members of the society as possible. The author’s previous book titled "THE CONTINUITY OF TRADITIONAL VALUES IN THE AFRICAN SOCIETY (The Igbo of Nigeria)- a book rightly qualified as a valuable tertiary institution anthropology text or reference book, published 2008, is equally available in the bookstore of the same publishers".

Download or read book Passionate and Pious written by Monique Moultrie and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Passionate and Pious Monique Moultrie explores the impact of faith-based sexual ministries on black women's sexual agency to trace how these women navigate sexuality, religious authority, and their spiritual walk with God. Providing churchwomen a space to candidly discuss these issues, these popular ministries exist largely beyond the traditional church, with dialogues about sex taking place in chat rooms and through text messages, social media, email, and other media. Moultrie foregrounds televangelist Juanita Bynum's construction of the black Christian sexual identity these ministries promote while emphasizing how churchwomen reconcile these prescriptive identities with their individual experiences. What does it mean for senior women to exercise sexual agency when their church standing could be questioned? What does celibacy mean for women who experience same-sex desire while believing that such desire goes against God's will? Advancing a womanist sexual ethics, Moultrie reframes biblical interpretations and conceptions of what constitutes a healthy relationship to provide a basis for sexual decision making that does not privilege monogamy or deny female pleasure, thereby calling on black churchwomen to experience responsible and life-enhancing sex.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celibacy and Soul: Exploring the Depths of Chastity is for women and men who have chosen to live into celibate chastity. It is also for those people who live celibate love, and though not vowed to a religious calling, know the way of celibate love as their path. You may find yourself celibate not by choice or you may hope it is a temporary stage. Perhaps life interrupted your plans with the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, the situation of illness, the trauma of abuse, or you simply didn’t settle with the desired partner and you want to find meaning in your life as a celibate person. Celibacy and Soul is also useful for those in the helping professions, as the work of a therapist asks a celibate kind of loving that can be catalyst for change in both clients and practitioners.
