Dear Research Network, Colleagues and Friends,

We hope you have enjoyed your summer and are ready to work! One of the goals we have this autumn, is to explore some of the ways that our Christian traditions are used to cause disparate harm to specific groups. For example, how does patriarchy harm both women and men?

What are the disproportionate beliefs that prohibit women from having full participation in Church leadership and within religious scholarship in so many settings? Where do these ideas come from - and are they accurate or have we simply misunderstood them?

Today, we invite you to listen to "Grappling with Patriarchal Constructs of Women in the Lectionary Bible," featuring Dr. Wil Gafney. If you are hearing things that seem to privilege men over women, you might want to listen closely and even share with others.
