As a female catechumen, this matches what I've experienced so far. I'm blessed to be part of a parish that has this regard for the laity. There is so much power in prayer! ☦️
Not when our greatest example of being a Christian is the most pure, most blessed and glorious Lady Theotokos.
I love our Lady but I don't think it is proof that one is not sexist. Worship of Greek goddesses didn't make life better for women in Ancient Greece for instance. You can honour the Theotokos and still see ordinary women as inferior to men. Christianity is not sexist but there are sexist Christians who use religion to justify the subjugation and mistreatment of women
"We are all on a journey." It cannot be said any better.
While I wholeheartedly agree with Dr Ford's view of Orthodoxy, her answer to the question comes from a position which fails to take into account how local customs and cultures directly affect the practice of faith. Is Orthodox sexist? No, or at least as Dr Ford rightly points out the question itself is erroneous. Can local customs/traditions (with a small t) be sexist and therefore affect one's interpretation of orthodoxy? Absolutely.
??? What local customs or traditions are sexist?
I grew up an orthodox in a traditional village from Eastern Europe and i cannot recount one instance of "sexism". Not one.
That great depends on whose definition of ‘sexist’ one is going with. By modern definition, certainly. But the modern definition of sexism towards women isn’t worth the time of day.
No way, Lord have mercy.
☦️☦️☦️
Sexism is a modernist term and not how any Christian should define their morals or faith. The Bible and Tradition are very clear on women’s roles and if people have a problem with that they can take their chances outside the church
