THE FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS - OCTOBER 15.1970
Through A
Glass Darkly
By ROBERT M. ALSTON
Pastor, Cumming United
Methodist Church
THOUGHTS ON THE WOMEN’S LIBERATION MOVEMENT. . .
Sunday evening on W.S.B. Radio I caught glimpses of their
“Second Sunday’’ program which was on the Women’s Lib.
Movement. First thing Monday morning on the radio Earl
Nightengale used this subject as his topic for the day. Saturday
Review and the other major magazines are all producing articles
on women’s freedom. Like the maxi dresses Women’s Lib. is
stirring up quite a controversial brew. As with desegregation,
it is difficult to recognize that here in the second half of the
twentieth century we are confronted with the rights of women. I
thought all that had been taken care of back at the turn of the
century, but hearing some of the protagonists of this new lib.
movement, I suddenly discover oppression right within the ranks
of the Church.
The wife of a c 'Hague of mine, who is campus minister at
Emory University, writes for a denominational magazine on “Why
Women in the Church Suffer Rank Discrimination.” She brings
out into vivid relief how in the Church we are contributors to
the bondage of our «vomen members. I should like to share with
you from some of her thinking:
“The church has begun the job of ridding itself of the shame
of racial discrimination. At least it is no longer respectable
to openly advocate a racist point of view. This attitude change
came about when those being oppressed rose up and decided they
would tolerate oppression no longer. But the church still seems
to be unaware that it is a sexist instituion.”
Rose Thomason goes on to demonstrate in what areas we tend
to shove our women members in the church. In most cases
they have their Women’s Group, and are allowed to be on some
fairly unimportant committees of the church. You seldom see
them heading up the Building Committee, the Trustees Com
mittee, the Chairman of the Board, etc. These committees
are reserved for the male, dominant figures. Rose says, “To
day, reasons are dwindling for women to stay at home all day.
This is not reflected in the local church. There is no need in the
70s for men to hold all of the positions of leadership. Women
are welt-educated, are able to study more seriously than before,
and often have more time to spend on church business than the
men.”
Turning to the Bible, we observe these remarks: “Beginning
with the story of creation in Genesis, woman is depicted as an
afterthought. She is created, in one version, out of man to be his
companion. It is woman who leads man astray. She is basically
evil, whereas man is made in the ‘image of God’ ....
“We no longer accept the biblical account of creation as a
scientific fact, and yet we still operate as if we accept the
patriarchical culture from which the Bible is written. That
culture was based on masculine superiority in the family and in
society. That culture also accepted slavery, practiced polygamy,
and sacrificed human beings to its God. We have abandoned
these customs, but we have not yet managed to rid our society
and our church of the image of the subservient woman. One
glaring example of this attitude is evident in the marriage service
of The United Methodist Church, which has the minister ask,
‘who giveth this woman to be married to this man?’ as if she
were a piece of property.”
Rose Thomason does not mince words, does she? The Church
stands indicted! Rose concludes her article in the following
manner: “We have serious problems to face in freeing women
in the church. St. Paul, although he said some very damaging
things about women, provides a framework for seeking solutions:
‘For you were baptized into union with Christ, and so have
taken upon yourselves the qualities of Christ himself. So there is
no difference between Jews and Gentiles, between slaves and
free men. between men and women: you are all one in union
with Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are descend
ants of Abraham, and will receive what God has promised.”
(Galatians 3:27-29).
