A
Definition of Gender Justice
In general, gender justice means recognizing that men and women are created
by God, redeemed by Christ, and gifted by the Spirit truly without distinction
or partiality. In Christian community, gender justice means encouraging
both men and women to exercise their Spirit-given gifts in the church’s
work, worship, and leadership, and celebrating the truth that the Spirit
grants such gifts without respect to gender. Concretely, gender justice
in the Church of Christ includes opening traditionally masculine leadership
roles and activities (deacon, elder, minister, worship leader, preacher,
teacher, etc.) to women, and encouraging men to discover and cultivate
their gifts for activities traditionally performed by women. |
