Abstract

Do churches tend to treat women differently from men?

Womanist scholar Emilie Townes discusses the complex issue of being a woman in a Christian community and the real discrimination that exists in most churches. As a woman, she is commonly asked “Why stay?” Her response is that she is called to be one of the women who stays and pushes for acceptance.
