Dangerous words: Women, Bible, Earth

April 13, 2022

You are invited to another opportunity to hear Emily Colgan, this time in person, in Hamilton. Friday 29 April 10.30 am -1.30pm Chartwell Cooperating Parish 124 Comries Rd, Chartwell, Hamilton Dr Emily Colgan, Biblical scholar, reveals the dangers of dualistic thinking about women and earth in sacred text.  Feminine and land-based metaphors in sacred texts  can influence real world assumptions, attitudes and behaviours towards women and the earth – without the readers’ knowledge.  At the heart of the problem, said Dr Colgan, is a mindset formed in ancient times and perpetuated in ‘the West,’ that categorises everything into an ordered list of … [Read more...]

Changing hearts and minds: Preventing Violence Against Women in Fiji’s Faith Settings

September 27, 2021

Reverend Sereima Lomaloma, Founder and Trustee of the House of Sarah, and senior faith leader, writes of an initiative to reject violence.  “When we eat, men get a bigger portion. If there’s something left in the pot, women get that little portion. Even women took that as normal - that’s the way we were brought up,” says Reverend Jone Tuiwaiwai, a pastor at the Anglican Church in Wailoku Parish, Suva. Alisi Dari, from House of Sarah, Fiji “In the eyes of God, both men and women are given power. We are all equal.
