Abstract
" [...] A specific gendering in churches and in society can either enable women or men to participate in the struggle for a better life, or prevent and negate their participation. The question is how religious leadership can contribute to solve this problem of lack of participation. What I would like to suggest in this paper is that leadership implies enabling participation of everybody in church and society; and therefore that religious leadership should include gender responsibility. With regard to this, I will (1) explain the idea of religious leadership as enabling participation; demonstrate (2) the need for gender responsibility and (3) the necessity of developing gendered ethics of religious leadership; (4) explore the idea of how body vulnerability as a ‘material principle’ (Enrique Dussel) serves as a critical principle ; (5) argue that the model of leadership as enabling participation is based on Christian understandings of God’s Trinitarian participation in the world that enables the church’s mission in the world, before (6) ending with some conclusions.", p. 140 (Introduction)
