The Spring 2025 edition of the SEI Journal, a quarterly publication from the Scottish Episcopal Institute is now available.
The edition is a special issue entitled, ‘En/gendering God and Church? What does it look like? How does it feel? What does it mean?’ It has been curated by Dr Alison Jasper, former Senior Lecturer in Religion and Gender (University of Stirling), who charged contributors with a broad remit to engage with gender in the context of the Church or the churches.
‘Gender’ is a term that has a range of meanings both scientific and cultural. It has also had a history of being controversial perhaps particularly in its relationship with feminism, which could be defined as a movement that advocates for gender equality. So, there ensures a lively, but also a considered response in seven contributions that encompass a series of framing conversations with others around these salient questions.
