Download or read book Theory and Practice of Gender Equality in the Salvation Army written by Janet Munn and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-03 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Christianity reveals a stunning polarity in the use of power with regard to personal holiness, social responsibility, and gender equality. Although The Salvation Army has long been a leader in the ordination of women, there appear to be varying understandings of both the theory and practice of gender equality within its ranks. Colonel Janet Munn's doctoral work surveyed Salvation Army leaders internationally to ask about their awareness of biblical equality in action within their commands. Their responses, framed by Munn's study of Luke's Persistent Widow as well as theoretical teachings on power make these pages an important resource for those who desire to see The Salvation Army live out its commitment to biblical equality, effectively utilizing the gifts of all who are called to its ministry.
Download or read book Women in God s Army Gender and Equality in the Early Salvation Army written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early Salvation Army professed its commitment to sexual equality in ministry and leadership. In fact, its founding constitution proclaimed women had the right to preach and hold any office in the organization. But did they? Women in God’s Army is the first study of its kind devoted to the critical analysis of this central claim. It traces the extent to which this egalitarian ideal was realized in the private and public lives of first- and second-generation female Salvationists in Britain and argues that the Salvation Army was found wanting in its overall commitment to women’s equality with men. Bold pronouncements were not matched by actual practice in the home or in public ministry. Andrew Mark Eason traces the nature of these discrepancies, as well as the Victorian and evangelical factors that lay behind them. He demonstrates how Salvationists often assigned roles and responsibilities on the basis of gender rather than equality, and the ways in which these discriminatory practices were supported by a male-defined theology and authority. He views this story from a number of angles, including historical, gender and feminist theology, ensuring it will be of interest to a wide spectrum of readers. Salvationists themselves will appreciate the light it sheds on recent debates. Ultimately, however, anyone who wants to learn more about the human struggle for equality will find this book enlightening.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Salvation Army has now been around for more than one hundred and fifty years, having celebrated its sesquicentennial in 2015 with an International Congress in London. Over the years both the Army and the world in which it appeared have changed beyond recognition. This is a good time for the movement to stop and look back--not just to celebrate, but to see where it is today. The Army has not evolved in isolation from the world. Bringing its own history with it, it nevertheless belongs to the twenty-first century world as much as William Booth's little East End Mission belonged to nineteenth-century London. This book attempts to explore the interaction between mission and world as it has impacted the Army's beliefs and practices as well as the place it now occupies in the wider world. This critical and analytical study may also be of interest to those beyond the Army's ranks who would like to learn more about this remarkable organization.

Download or read book Christian Egalitarian Leadership written by Aida Besancon Spencer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-10-30 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written on servant leadership, but it is not always tied to egalitarian leadership. Sometimes authority and power instead of God’s love are presented as the core of the Christian faith. The church at times derails, imitating worldly culture, emphasizing entitlement that relies on an innate or permanent human hierarchy of rank. Responding to today’s conflict over leadership, Christian Egalitarian Leadership calls us back to its biblical roots: what is Christian egalitarian leadership? Why is it biblical? How does it work? Thoughtful and devout Christian leaders carefully explain how sharing leadership follows God’s intentions and is crucial to implement today. The theoretical and practical ramifications of these concepts are extended to many areas of the Christian life by numerous qualified individuals, women and men of different races and economic and social classes. Chapters overview New Testament teachings, biblical authority, Old Testament and contemporary examples, God’s intention at creation, pagan philosophy’s influence on Christian hierarchal leadership, multicultural and multi-ethnic leadership in the United States and Africa, marriage, rearing children, equipping youth and laity, church planting, retirement, and missions, from the cradle to the mission field.
Download or read book The Equality Paradox for Women Ministers of the Salvation Army written by Christin Davis and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Salvation Army began with a desire to treat women equally, allowing them to teach, preach and minister just like men. In the first 50 years in the United States, the Army often had women leaders. Yet that equality had some reservations, which William Booth, who started the army with his wife, Catherine, told listeners at a 1888 meeting, "We have a problem. When two officers marry, by some strange mistake in our organization, the woman doesn't count." Now, some men and women of the Salvation Army are trying to return the organization to its intended egalitarian roots--from abstract.

Download or read book Leadership in The Salvation Army written by Harold Hill and published by . This book was released on 2006-10 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership in The Salvation Army is a review and analysis of Salvation Army history, focused on the process of clericalisation. The Army provides a case study of the way in which renewal movements in the church institutionalise. Their leadership roles, initially merely functional and based on the principle of the 'priesthood of all believers', begin to assume greater status. the adoption of the term 'ordination' for the commissioning of The Salvation Army's officers in 1978, a hundred years after its founding, illustrates this tendency. The Salvation Army's ecclesiology has been essentially pragmatic and has developed in comparative isolation from the wider church, perhaps with a greater role being played by sociological processes than by theological reflection in its development. The Army continues to exhibit a tension between its theology, which supports equality of status, and its military structure, which works against equality, and both schools of thought flourish within its ranks. ""No Christian church has approached clerical leadership the way The Salvation Army has done since 1878. And no author has done more to analyze that subject than Harold Hill. Hill shows that historically and doctrinally the Army left the mainstream in its approach to female and lay ministry, in dual ministries of word and deed, in training of 'officers', and in replacing sacraments with it s own ceremonies. At the same time, Hill argues that the Army has at times intentionally or unconsciously replicated the mainstream course."" --Norman H. Murdoch, Emeritus Professor of the History of the USA, University of Cincinnati, USA, also author of Origins of The Salvation Army ""Leadership in The Salvation Army represents comprehensive research and serious reflection on officership in The Salvation Army, It is an amazing and intriguing resource for students of and participants in religious movements."" --Stephen Court, founder of The War College, Vancouver, Canada and author of Proverbial Leadership ""Don't be fooled by the title. Yes, Harold Hill has given us a thoroughly researched work about the development of a dominant clerical office in a Christian movement with a strong anti-clerical mindset. But he has given us much more. He has brilliantly identified and explored the underlying issues of mission, ecclesiology, and leadership which must be resolved before the divide created by clerical status can be overcome."" --Phil Needham, Retired Territorial Commander, The Salvation Army, USA Southern Territory ""The refreshing readable and carefully argued insightful analysis. Hill not only demonstrates that it takes more than language and denial to avoid clericalisation, it also takes more than confusion about organisational theology to derail a compelling vision. A fine historical, theological and practical study with some nice touches of humour, this book is of wide relevance, not least to those other Christian churches and movements who value equality, distrust the idea of ordination, and face the realities of leadership, community and organisation."" --John Roxborogh, Presbyterian School of Ministry, Dunedin, New Zealand Harold Hill holds a Ph.D. from the Victoria University of Wellington, and has been a Salvation Army officer since 1972, serving in Zimbabwe and then in pastoral, educational and administrative work in New Zealand. He has degrees in history and theology from Victoria and Otago Universities. He lives in Wellington with his wife, Pat, and they have two adult daughters.

Download or read book Power Gender written by H. Lorraine Radtke and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the complex strands that inextricably link gender and power relations, demonstrating how gender is constructed through the practices of power. The contributors argue that female' and male' are shaped not only at the micro-level of everyday social interaction but also at the macro-level where social institutions control and regulate the practice of gender. Power/Gender explores: how theorizing on power is affected when gender is taken into account; post-Foucauldian theory of gender and power; whether it is possible to separate gender and power; the connections between gender and the practice of power in political contexts, and how these connections work in the specific contexts of women's lives; and whether the construction of sex or gender is an expression of power relations.
