Sancocho Leadership: Nurturing Leadership And Vocation Of Latinas, Miriam Méndez
Sancocho Leadership: Nurturing Leadership And Vocation Of Latinas, Miriam Méndez
Doctor of Leadership
Latinas are vital to the future of the American Baptist Churches of New Jersey (ABCNJ), but the church has failed to properly nurture and develop their pastoral leadership gifts. They contribute significantly to congregational life, pastoral care, community outreach, and theological imagination. However, their presence in formal pastoral leadership roles remains limited. This dissertation examines the structural, cultural, and theological factors that influence Latina pastoral development. The solution for developing Latina women into pastoral leadership positions in the ABCNJ is the introduction of a contextual, culturally rooted model called Sancocho Leadership. Drawing on practical theology, Latina feminist theology, and leadership …

Gender Equity As Partnership In The Religious Training Of Christian Leaders In Africa, Marilyn Naidoo
Gender Equity As Partnership In The Religious Training Of Christian Leaders In Africa, Marilyn Naidoo
Journal of International Women's Studies
Religion has shaped society’s patriarchal attitudes and related sociocultural values and norms. Religious and theological institutions should be held accountable for tackling gender injustice and discrimination as trained religious leaders are key players in fostering social change. Scholar-activist Mercy Oduyoye, known as the mother of African women’s theology, advocates for gender transformation that engages both men and women in the struggle. Through a literary analysis, this article expands on the idea of shared responsibility and the need to engage men as allies in gender transformation. It integrates a range of theoretical perspectives, including feminist theology and gender studies theory, providing …

Witnessing To Christ In North-East India, Marina Ngursangzeli, Michael Biehl
Witnessing To Christ In North-East India, Marina Ngursangzeli, Michael Biehl
Regnum Edinburgh Centenary Series
The Church in India has a far closer connection to Edinburgh 1910, as F S Downs points out, that one of the Indian delegates was Rev Thankan Sangma, a Garo. This little known fact is illustrative of how, on one hand, the Church in North East India is ignorant of this legacy and continues to view ecumenism poorly and suspiciously, while on the other hand the challenges faced by the Church in the region and the social, economic and political milieu it is placed in, have been largely ignored, neglected, or worse still, identified with what is generally portrayed as …

Reflecting On And Equipping For Christian Mission, Stephen Bevans, Teresa Chai, Nelson Jennings, Knud Jorgensen, Dietrich Werner
Regnum Edinburgh Centenary Series
This volume looks at mission formation for all Christians and missionary formation for mission workers, agencies and churches in a changing situation of mission. The focus is on educating the whole people of God. Here is the reason for the title of this volume: Reflecting on and Equipping for Christian Mission. Theological education in the broad sense participates in the task of equipping people for God’s mission in today’s world. At the same time we affirm that all theological education is contextual and that no particular context should exercise dominant influence.
Contextual Theological Education In Africa As A Model For Missional Formation, Susan Murithi
Contextual Theological Education In Africa As A Model For Missional Formation, Susan Murithi
The Asbury Journal
This paper argues that teaching of contextual theological education in Africa can aid in missional formation of students, teachers, and their communities. Further, common African struggles are explored as a way of discovering how theological education can be used to address Africa’s unique situation. The paper further asserts that the only kind of education with the power to form humanity is the one that relates to them and addresses their unique situations, and answers their questions. To form missional Christians in Africa, we need contextual education in our training institutions.
