In Worship

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The issue of gender and dressing in the society has generated widespread debate that addresses the concern of women in the contemporary society. The use of trousers by women emerges as a symbol of freedom for the woman in her pursuit of acceptance, equality and happiness. This freedom ought to be extended to participation in the leadership and decision making in the church and the society as a whole.This book submits that there is gender bias against women in church; a situation in which Patriarchy of the African society has been carried to, and perpetuated by the church through formulation of rules and erroneous interpretation of the Bible to favor paternalistic positions on issues of adornment and especially the trouser for the woman during worship. This translates to a church that is oppressive to the womenfolk. The church is the society disguised.
