Full textThe intention of this thesis is to offer a perspective on the current debate over women's place in Western religious institutions, i.e. the Judaeo-Christian tradition; and to provide a way of thinking about those issues which will lead to a positive, progressive and realistic vision of co-humanity, and a method of achieving it. The thorny battleground of the "women's debate", as it is inaccurately named, was not my original choice of thesis topic. A lifelong commitment to feminist principles has been matched with an equally lengthy wariness regarding society's attitude towards such matters. Also, the understandable obsession of South African religious studies departments, and journals, with the issue of racism has had the inevitable result of trivializing the related issue of sexism as secondary. The narrowness of such thinking has led to strange distortions, including the belief that evil can somehow be 'ranked' and that there can be a 'hierarchy' of oppression. My intentions changed during a search of religious publications and journals while completing a post-graduate assignment. It was abundantly apparent that the scale of the debate on women's place in religion was fast outstripping most other debates. However, it was not an area which had been treated locally with seriousness. It had unfolded into a comprehensive and highly contentious debate in North American and British campuses and religious institutions, and the proliferation of books and articles on the subject by not only theologians but also sociologists, anthropologists and linguists had greatly extended the platform and the level on which the debate was to be fought. It appeared that women working in many fields were laying claim to religion, and were engaging issues which had previously been left to the handful of articulate women working at least nominally within orthodox structures.

The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of Christian women's sexuality and religious life, to understand the inner conflicts and reactions between sexuality and religious life. This research adopts the narrative research method, and purpose-driven sampling was used to select four Christian women who have experiences of sexuality practice, collected data through semi-structured in-depth interviews. The interview results are summarized in the form of “holistic-content” analysis. The research results are as follows: 1.Experiences of Christian women's sexuality and inner conflicts: (1)Family and social laws and regulations through adolescence have caused women to have a negative connotation with regards to lust exploration. (2)Interactive experiences with church pastors and members have strengthened the negative connotations of lust exploration in social cultures:(a) There is a feeling that in the church, lust is evaluated and monitored by the church members, and are silenced and unable to talk to the church members about their passions.(b) When you fail to reach the sexuality standard of the religion, you feel that you cannot integrate into the group and are excluded. (3)Between "oneself" and "my god," there is a "person who is given the right to interpret by the group as a whole" (4)Self-evaluation is formed when comparing one's self-behavior to religious sexuality standard. (5)One's attitude when discussing homosexuals with other Christians are shown as reflections of their attitudes toward sexuality. 2.Christian women's erotic experiences: (1)Seeking people and church authorities for help has caused more struggles for Christian women. Seeking God should be to liberate them. (2)Sexuality exploration becomes a reflection of faith and becomes a catalyst for oneself, and the reclamation of oneself. Finally, with regards to conclusions and findings. Provide suggestions and practical advice for church organization and future research directions. I anticipate in-depth presentations of the experiences and needs of Christian women's sexuality, as well as accumulating academic materials in this field of study. I look forward to providing an important reference for the practical work of counseling.

Full textThe division of labor in households is an important topic in marital relationships. Families are not static; they are in a constant state of change. Employment, individual family members’ schedules, and religious beliefs can impact how couples divide household tasks. This particular study draws on in-depth interviews of four married couples from American Baptist churches to explore how couples within this type of church divide household tasks. The interviews focused on the management of second- and third-shift household tasks, as well as childcare. The purpose of obtaining this information was to see if the way American Baptist couples handle second-, third-shift duties, and childcare is more consistent with general population couples or more consistent with Evangelical/Conservative couples. Husbands and wives were interviewed separately to obtain individual thoughts and opinions. The interviews revealed that when it comes to second-shift tasks and child care, American Baptist couples are more in line with general population couples. As far as third-shift duties, Evangelical, general population, and American Baptist couples are all currently handling in very similar ways with the female performing the majority of third-shift tasks.
