Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: In this study we try to look at the issue of gender, especially at the space that women had in the Evangelical Church of Lutheran Confession – IECLB. Special attention is given to the ways in which women contributed in building the Church, to the different networks they had throughout the Church’s history and the empowerment that happened in relation to gender issues. Attention is given to the space that women had in theological studies and their work as clergy and lay in the parishes and the important contribution in the theological reflection that has influenced spirituality and theology and brought changes in gender policies in the Church, as well as in larger society. Briefly, the issue of homosexuality, a controversial subject, is raised and commented about the perspectives and the understandings in relation to it. The text points to new challenges brought by contemporary society which demand that men also be involved in the issue of gender.
