CAPE

It is a missional study that investigates the ministerial and leadership experience of women clergy in the Anglican Diocese of False Bay. The diocese originated from the mother of Cape Town in (2005), and was divided into 58 congregations, partly situated along the Pacific Ocean and largely next to the Indian Ocean. Suggit and Goedhals, (1998:92) claimed that because of the episcopal nature of the Anglican Church, until the turn of the 20th century, did not take serious women contribution to the spread of the Gospel. Haddad further states that, women in the Anglican Church for a long time have been dominated by men (2016:157). Haddad’s remark shows the magnitude and how sacerdotal priesthood is deeply rooted in the Anglican church in the ACSA, even after 1992 when the ordination of women was accepted. This research aims to investigate the extent of the Church (men and women together) as the equal participants in the mission of God have influenced the women clergy ministerial experience of “inequality, injustice and exclusion” and how it has affected the women’s full participation in the “mission” the Anglican Church over the years. The study seeks to investigate missiologically speaking, the ministerial experience of women in a male-dominated context becomes a matter of power, authority, gender justice and also an issue in human rights (cf. Hendriks, Mouton, Hansen, & Le Roux, 2012). In other words, the study explores women’s ministerial experience given the patriarchy—hierarchy and gender roles in light of the church’s hierarchical and patriarchal nature and its chores in terms of koinonia (fellowship), kerygma (preaching), diakonia (service), martyria (witness), and liturgia (liturgy) in relation to women’s full participation as equal agents in mission. To achieve this, the study aims to investigate and uncover the leadership experience of women clergy in the Anglican Diocese of False Bay, in an empirical study set out in six chapters. The study encompasses the history and background of the Diocese of False Bay and explores the historical events and contributions of women undertaken which ensures Anglican women’s participation in society in ACSA. This study reflects on the theoretical definition of feminism within the context and scope of the missional church and missio Dei. The study includes how the struggle for women’s liberation in society and in the church has been influenced by gender stereotype. This study, therefore, makes use of the methodological triangulation in the form of interviews, group discussions and participatory observation in collecting data. The data is coded in following themes related to the participants’ response and within gender studies.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Dit is 'n missionale-gerigte studie wat die mintrerial en missionale-ervaring van vrouegeestelikes in die Anglikaanse Bisdom van Valsbaai ondersoek. Die bisdom het uit die moeder Bisdom van Kaapstad in (2005) ontstaan, en is verdeel in 58 gemeentes, gedeeltelik geleë langs die stille oseaan en grootliks langs die Indiese oseaan. Suggit en Goedhals, (1998:92) beweer dat as gevolg van die Episkopste Aard van die Anglikaanse kerk, tot op die beurt van die 20ste eeu, het nie ' ernstige ' vroue se bydrae tot die verspreiding van die evangelie, totdat (1992). Haddad sê verder dat, vroue in die Anglikaanse kerk vir 'n lang tyd is oorheers deur mans (2016:157). Haddad se opmerking toon die omvang en hoe sacerdotal priesterskap diep in die Anglikaanse kerk in die ACSA gewortel is, selfs na 1992 toe die Ordinasie van vroue aanvaar is. Sy navorsing beoog om die omvang van die kerk (mans en vroue saam) as die hoofdeelnemer in die veelsydige missie van God te ondersoek, kan die vrouegeestelikes se ministeriële ervaring van "ongelykheid, onreg en uitsluiting" beïnvloed en hoe dit die vroue se volle deelname in "missie" oor die jare geraak het. Die studie poog om te ondersoek of missiologically praat, die ministeriële ervaring van vroue in 'n manlike gedomineerde konteks word 'n kwessie van mag, gesag, Gender-geregtigheid en ook 'n kwessie in menseregte (vgl. Hendriks, Mouton, Hansen, & le Roux, 2012). Met ander woorde, die studie ondersoek die vroue se ministeriële ervaring gegewe die patriargie — hiërargie en Gender-rolle in die lig van die kerk se hiërargiese en patriargale natuur en sy take in terme van koinonia (Genootskap), kerygma (prediking), Diakonia (diens), martelria (getuie), en Liturgia (liturgie) met betrekking tot vroue se volle deelname as gelyke agente in sending. Om dit te bereik, beoog die studie om die leierskapvarings van vrouegeestelikes in die Anglikaanse Bisdom van Valsbaai te ondersoek en te ontbloot in 'n empiriese studie wat in ses hoofstukke uiteengesit word. Die studie omvat die geskiedenis en agtergrond van die Bisdom van Valsbaai en beoog die historiese bewegings wat onderneem is om vroue in die Anglikaanse gemeenskap, in ACSA, te beywer. Hierdie studie besin oor die teoretiese definisie van feminisme binne die raamwerk van die missionale kerk en die Die studie sluit in hoe die stryd vir vroue se Bevryding in die samelewing en in die kerk has vervolg wording geïnspireer deur Gender stereotipe. Hierdie studie, maak dus gebruik van die metodologiese triangulasie in die vorm van onderhoude, groepbesprekings en deelnemende waarneming versamel data. Die data word gekodeer in hierdie volgende temas wat verband hou met reaksie binne Gender-studies.
