Description / Abstract
This research focuses on women in Christian ministry in the U.S. Latinx communities in The Church of the Nazarene. Through the light of Mujerista Theology, it examines the role and contribution of women in Christian ministry to spiritual formation and spiritual direction and the obstacles and challenges they encounter in a patriarchal society influenced by the Latinx culture. This culture limits the potential of women's roles in ministry.
This study attempts to bring awareness to Latinx congregations in the U.S. of the position of the Church of the Nazarene on women in Christian ministry. In eight lectures which explore the narratives of the Old and New Testaments that underlie this stance, congregations will learn about the history of God’s calling, entrusting, equipping, and promoting women in roles of church leadership and ministry. Awareness is the first step towards changing a patriarchal leadership style to an inclusive one, where men and women have the same value and capacity to serve in any ministry position God has called them to serve. Mujerista Theology practices are encouraged to follow as a second step, offering conversations around the kitchen table where Latinx women can be heard and encouraged to remain in the struggle towards achieving liberation for all.
