Podcasts about Elaine Storkey

Is it impossible for a person of faith to navigate their lives without questioning their beliefs? Do the doubters long for the faith of the believers? Is faith the enemy of reason and does certainty come at the expense of rational thought? Audrey Carville will be exploring these questions and more with her guests: theologians Dr Joy Allan and Dr Elaine Storkey, Corrymeela Community leader Rev Dr Alex Wimberly, and Father Martin Magill from St John's Parish.Bishop Donal McKeown will be talking about reaching a big milestone. Has President Nixon's political legacy been unfairly overshadowed by Watergate? And why does Easter Sunday fall on a different date every year, and why have efforts over the years to fix it in the calendar been thwarted?

Do you think women and men are equal in today's society- do they have equal opportunities in education and career development, do they have equal pay for equal work, are there particular obstacles that women face that men don't? What about in the home? In your home- do you split the tasks 50:50? Until women are no longer seen as the primary carer of children or older family members, will there ever be true equality? What about equality in faith. It hasn't always been the case that women and men are treated equally as worshippers in faith. Decades ago, women weren't allowed to participate in the same way that they do now- as readers, or cantors, or collectors. In many Churches men and women were kept apart, in separated aisles,.for fear of temptation or distraction. And of course what about the call to serve? The Catholic Church still will not allow women priests. Anglican and Presbyterian Churches do- but amid some entrenched opposition- to the extent that people have left their Church in protest. And does the Church's treatment of women play a part in how women are seen and treated across wider society? Presenter Audrey Carville in conversation with Presbyterian minister and university chaplain the Reverend Cheryl Meban, theologian Dr Elaine Storkey, retired school principal and self described practising and questioning Catholic Michele Marken and Naomi Green, assistant secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain.

In part three of Unravelling we're looking at issues of sex and gender. Our first video (3.1) described the debate going on in our culture and the second (3.2) looked at what a Christian worldview has to say. Here, we ask Elaine Storkey about the challenge of living it out in practice. What does it look like to hold a Christian worldview and follow Jesus with regards to sex and gender in our polemical and divisive culture context? WATCH this podcast in video form!

This week's resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury has once again cast a spotlight on how the Christian Church as an institution deals with people in its ranks who abuse children in the most horrific of ways. Why is it so difficult for people at the top of religious institutions to instantly know that child abuse is a crime which must be reported to the police? Why are the abusers, rather than the victims, protected? How can the faithful have faith...does the revolution for change have to start at the bottom? Questions not just for the Church: from the BBC to the Post Office to the Metropolitan Police. Is the knee jerk response from institutions at the heart of society self protection? Audrey Carville is joined by theologian Dr Elaine Storkey, Queen's University academic Dr Leon Litvack and political communications consultant, author and former EU diplomat David Harley.

What drives someone to change their faith? It can't be an easy decision- or can it? It certainly arouses deep emotions among others- what should be a private matter rarely is, it tends to provoke a reaction but is the new belief believable? Is it masking a previously bad life? Presenter Audrey Carville in conversation with Rabbi Jonathan Romain who recently conducted some research on religious conversions, and theologians Professor Tina Beattie and Dr Elaine Storkey.

Did you enjoy the Olympics opening ceremony? The four hour extravaganza was remarkable in its ambition and execution- and delighted billions around the world who tuned inBut one group wasn't terribly happy with one part of it. Christians were apparently outraged by a scene that evoked Leonardo daVinci's The Last Supper painting, with drag queens, a transgender model and a singer made up as the Greek god of wineThe organisers apologised saying the scene was intended to interpret Dionysus and raise awareness of violence between human beings- and that any interpretation of it being a parody of the Last Supper was unintentionalA delegate of the bishops of France for the Games said some French athletes had trouble sleeping because of the controversy.France has a rich Catholic heritage but also has a long tradition of secularism and anti-clericalism. Blasphemy is legal and is considered by many to be an essential pillar of freedom of speech.What does this tell us about Christianity's ability to see beyond the obvious, to sometimes laugh at itself, or is the whole episode another example in the so-called culture wars between Conservatives and Liberals in the world right now?Audrey discusses with theologians Dr Elaine Storkey, Dr Tina Beattie and Professor Laurence Kirkpatrick.

Dio ha creato uomini e donne con la medesima dignità ed importanza. E mentre all'epoca in cui è stata scritta la Bibbia nessuno scriveva storie di e sulle donne, la Parola di Dio ne è ricca; e da essa traiamo esempi di coraggio, intelligenza e impegno che sono di monito e guida per ciascun credente. Come quello di cinque sorelle coraggiose, tramite cui Dio ha cambiato una legge ingiusta. --- Predicatrice: Jean Guest CLICCA SUL TITOLO PER ASCOLTARE IL MESSAGGIO Tempo di lettura: 10 minuti Tempo di ascolto audio/visione video: 30 minuti Oggi stiamo iniziando una nuova serie di messaggi che guarda alcune delle grandi storie di emancipazione delle donne in tutta la Bibbia. Sono grata a Marco per avermi dato questa opportunità di predicare a te e ai teologi NT Wright, Paula Gooder ed Elaine Storkey per aver modellato il mio pensiero. Lasciatemi pregare per noi tutti: "Padre, prego che oggi  prenderai le mie parole e le userai per la tua gloria. Apri i nostri cuori e le nostre menti così da essere sfidati, cambiati e incoraggiati dalla tua parola, in modo che possiamo lasciare questo posto meglio attrezzati per essere testimoni della tua bontà, misericordia e grazia. Amen." Prima di dare un'occhiata ad alcuni di queste donne degne di nota, voglio parlare un po' di genere e patriarcato. Ma quello che voglio dire per primo, più di tutto  e  sottolineato tre volte, è che credo assolutamente che la Bibbia è la parola di Dio ispirata da lui; ma comprendo anche che è stata scritta da esseri umani (principalmente uomini) e che è nata nel contesto di da una certa cultura. Ogni volta che leggiamo la Bibbia ci sono tre domande che  dovremmo porci: la prima il primo è 1. Quale è il contesto storico in cui  gli autori stanno scrivendo, cosa fanno e perché? La seconda è: 2. Cosa significa effettivamente quello che leggo? Molto spesso ciò significa che dobbiamo esaminarne diverse traduzioni in modo da trovare ciò che la Bibbia sta veramente dicendo: ci sono molti casi in cui noi abbiamo traduzioni errate (parlerò di una brevemente tra poco). In inglese ci sono una quantità di differenti tradizioni da poter consultare; purtroppo questo non è  il caso della lingua italiana, ma alcune ci sono. In terzo luogo dobbiamo chiederci: 3. Cosa posso prendere da  questo passaggio mentre lo leggo?  Quali sono le mie aspettative, le mie speranze, le mie paure, i miei bagagli personali? Oppure:  in che modo influirà sul modo in cui leggo e capisco la Scrittura? Torniamo subito all'inizio a Genesi capitolo 1: "Poi Dio disse: «Produca la terra della vegetazione, delle erbe che facciano seme e degli alberi fruttiferi che, secondo la loro specie, portino del frutto avente in sé la propria semenza, sulla terra»... Poi Dio disse: «Producano le acque in abbondanza esseri viventi, e volino degli uccelli sopra la terra … le acque produssero in abbondanza secondo la loro specie, e ogni volatile secondo la sua specie.... Poi Dio disse: «Produca la terra animali viventi secondo la loro specie: bestiame, rettili e animali selvatici della terra, secondo la loro specie». ... Poi Dio disse: «Facciamo l’uomo a nostra immagine, conforme alla nostra somiglianza, e abbiano dominio sui pesci del mare, sugli uccelli del cielo, sul bestiame, su tutta la terra e su tutti i rettili che strisciano sulla terra». Dio creò l’uomo a sua immagine; lo creò a immagine di Dio;  li creò maschio e femmina.." (Genesi 1: 11, 20, 21, 24, 26-27) Qui vediamo Dio che porta ordine fuori dal caos attraverso la Creazione. Per prima cosa crea luce, acqua e terra e poi inizia a popolare il mondo; prima con piante di cui alcune ci dice portatrici di semi. Guarda ciò che ha creato e lo dichiara essere buono. Quindi riempie le acque di pesci e altre creature marine e di nuovo le benedice e dice loro di essere feconde. Poi vengono gli animali della terra; di nuovo sono creati e benedetti e viene detto loro di essere fecondi.  Ogni pianta e animale finora è maschio e femmina, l'ordine creato ha un sesso. E infine nel versetto 27 arriviamo alla gloria della Creazione: così Dio ha creato l'umanità a sua immagine: “a immagine di Dio li creò maschio e femmina li creò.” Ora ecco il punto: se il nostro essere creati a immagine di Dio non riguarda altro che la distinzione tra generi (maschio e femmina),  allora l'intera Creazione è stata fatta a sua immagine... ma qui, la Bibbia, non dice questo! Solo gli esseri umani lo sono e quindi la nostra immagine  è qualcosa di diverso dal semplice genere. E vediamo pure che non c'è separazione i due, ma  perfetta uguaglianza. Diamo una rapida occhiata a Galati 3:28 Non c’è qui né Giudeo né Greco; non c’è né schiavo né libero;  non c’è né maschio né femmina;  perché voi tutti siete uno in Cristo Gesù." (Galati 8:28) Questo è l'errore di traduzione di cui io ti parlavo: in realtà, in originale, Paolo afferma (vediamo un'altra traduzione più accurata): "Non siete più Ebrei, né pagani, schiavi o liberi  e neppure uomo o donna,  perché siete tutti uniti in Cristo. (Galati 8:28 PV) Paolo sta scrivendo a una chiesa nel contesto di un dibattito sulla circoncisione maschile che deve essere classificata come parte integrante della chiesa e nel contesto culturale dove nella sinagoga avresti potuto udire gli uomini pregare così: “Dio, ti ringrazio di non essere stato creato un gentile, uno schiavo o una donna ”. È disperato per questi giovani cristiani non si rendano conto che sono persone della risurrezione, persone della nuova Creazione, ciò che era una volta è stato capovolto. Il cristianesimo non è il giudaismo con una etichetta che dice “fede in Cristo”.  Paolo sta citando il verso di Genesi 1che parla di genere; è così che era in Paradiso, e lo dice in termini di appartenenza alla famiglia di Dio. L'essere uomini  non ha più il privilegio che haha avuto nel corso dei millenni. Certamente questo era vero all'epoca, non credete? Ovviamente, no (guardate la vignetta!). Non significa che l'ideale sia senza genere, significa semplicemente che è irrilevante.Ma non significa neppure che all'interno del Regno siamo identici, o complementari. Allora, perché abbiamo lottato con questo? Ciò è dovuto ad una struttura della società dell'epoca  chiamata patriarcato. Cosa intendo dire? Questa è una definizione: "Il patriarcato è un sistema sociale in cui gli uomini detengono il potere in modo primario e predominano nei ruoli di leadership politica, autorità morale, privilegio sociale e controllo della proprietà." E l'Antico Testamento è stato sicuramente scritto nel contesto di una società patriarcale. Sto dicendo che sia una cosa sbagliata? Certamente no; sto dicendo che è quello che è,  e dovremmo quindi leggerlo per quello che è . Se gli uomini erano più importanti e detenevano maggiore rilevanza  pubblica e le donne avevano valore esclusivamente tra le mura domestiche ovviamente troveremo  storie  di uomini che fanno cose da uomini. Sto di nuovo dicendo che dovremmo leggerlo per quello che è e non per quello che non è. E prima inizi a urlarmi contro,   è proprio per questo motivo che ho nel mio cuore le Scritture; perché in un perido storico dove  tutte le altre narrazioni scritte negli altri stati, tipo quelle dei babilonesi, ignoravano completamente storie di donne, nelle pagine dell'Antico Testamento  ne troviamo alcune straordinarie e stimolanti;  Dio non lo ha permesso che fossero completamente cancellate. Più avanti nella serie incontreremo le donne del Nuovo Testamento che hanno cambiato il mondo. Ma oggi lasciate che vi presenti le cinque figlie di Selofead, o per dare loro il proprio nome Mala, Noa, Cogla, Milca e Tirsa. Queste cinque giovani donne hanno cambiato la storia delle donne ebree. Leggiamo la loro storia: "Allora si fecero avanti le figlie di Selofead, figlio di Chefer, figlio di Galaad, figlio di Machir, figlio di Manasse, delle famiglie di Manasse, figlio di Giuseppe,  che si chiamavano Mala, Noa, Cogla, Milca e Tirsa; esse si presentarono davanti a Mosè, davanti al sacerdote Eleazar,  davanti ai capi e a tutta la comunità all’ingresso della tenda di convegno, e dissero: «Nostro padre morì nel deserto, e non stava in mezzo a coloro che si adunarono contro il Signore, non era della gente di Core, ma morì a causa del suo peccato,  e non ebbe figli maschi. Perché il nome di nostro padre dovrebbe scomparire dalla sua famiglia? Infatti non ha avuto figli maschi. Dacci una proprietà in mezzo ai fratelli di nostro padre». Mosè portò la loro causa davanti al Signore. E il Signore disse a Mosè: «Le figlie di Selofead dicono bene. Sì, tu darai loro in eredità una proprietà in mezzo ai fratelli del loro padre, e farai passare ad esse l’eredità del loro padre. Parlerai pure ai figli d’Israele, e dirai: “Quando uno morirà senza lasciare figli maschi, farete passare la sua eredità a sua figlia." (Numeri 27:1-8) Il popolo d'Israele aveva vagato nel deserto per 40 anni e ora erano nelle pianure di Moab e stavano per entrare nella Terra Promessa. Era importante sapere chi era ancora vivo dell'esodo originale e quanti fossero di seconda generazione, in modo che la terra potesse essere divisa  in base al numero di persone nel censimento (Numeri 26) con più terra data a tribù più grandi e meno terra a quelle più piccole. Dio disse a Mosè di fare conta delle tribù, ma secondo l'usanza dell'epoca questo era solo per il nome degli avi e sul versante degli uomini. Era previsto che le donne sarebbero state incluse nella linea di eredità e successione dei maschi della loro famiglia. Ma questo era un gran bel problema per le cinque sorelle. Il loro padre era morto, non aveva fratelli o altri parenti maschi;  sarebbero state lasciate senza terra e senza eredità. Mi chiedo come donna cosa avremmo fatto al loro posto? Borbottare? Trovare un marito, qualsiasi fosse, e velocemente? Questo è ciò che hanno fatto le sorelle. Sono andate al luogo di  riunione, un posto dove c'erano solo uomini di alto rango  e certamente le donne non avevano il permesso di entrare,  e si presentate davanti a Mosè e agli altri capi appellandosi contro la legge. Notate che sono andate insieme. Hanno presentato le credenziali del padre, il quale era stato leale, non aveva fatto  parte dell'insurrezione ed era morto di mote naturale; sicuramente era degno di rispetto. Se la legge fosse rimasta com'era, allora il nome e l'eredità del padre sarebbe stata dimenticata semplicemente perché non aveva figli maschi: ma ne ha cinque figlie: “Dacci delle proprietà tra quelle dei parenti d i nostro padre!” (versetto 4).  Poiché la tradizione doveva collegare la proprietà della terra al  cognome maschile, era un valido argomento di discussione. Dal modo in cui hanno plasmato la loro argomentazione vediamo che le sorelle  conoscevano la loro storia, la loro cultura, le  tradizioni e conoscevano la legge.  Quello che volevano mettere in discussione non era la legge di Dio che era intrinsecamente giusta, ma come l'avevano interpretata gli uomini. Ecco perché erano pronte a confrontarsi con i loro leader e a sottolineare l'ingiustizia. Debbono avere avuto anche fiducia che  Mosè le avrebbe ascoltate; non può essere sottovalutato il fatto che, quello che stavano facendo potrebbe avergli  causati enormi difficoltà. Bisogna dar merito a Mosè, che non solo ascoltò, ma mostrò la sua vulnerabilità e intelligenza come  leader, ammettendo che aveva bisogno della saggezza di Dio, non volendo appoggiarsi semplicemente alla sua propria interpretazione della legge. Dio stabilì a favore delle sorelle; dovevano essere date loro delle proprietà  tra quelle della loro tribù. Ancor di più,  la sentenza doveva essere universale: d'ora in poi, se un uomo fosse morto senza figli, le sue figlie dovevano riceverne l'eredità. E in modo ancora più radicale vedremo nel capitolo 36 che le sorelle avrebbero potuto scegliere il proprio coniuge all'interno della tribù. Sappiamo che Mosè non visse abbastanza da vedere le sorelle ereditare la loro terra.  Toccò a Giosuè  assicurarsi che la decisione di Dio fosse eseguita (possiamo leggerlo in Giosuè 17: 3-6). Tutto ciò  ha cambiato il modo in cui le donne venivano trattate. Non lo sono non dovevano sposarsi più per avere riconosciuta la loro identità, ma le affermava come membri di valore nella tribù con diritti propri come donne non sposate. Cosa possiamo imparare dalle sorelle? 1. È di fondamentale importanza vedere la nostra identità come donne davanti a Dio e non legata alle convenzioni umane. 2. La loro audacia si basava sulla loro conoscenza e comprensione, non ultima la loro conoscenza di Dio. Credevano che fosse giusto ed equo che  poteva essere invocato per venire in loro aiuto. Anche noi dovremmo conoscere  il nostro Dio in questo modo. 3. Hanno cercato giustizia, e noi dobbiamo essere in grado di  discernere ciò che è giusto e ciò che è ingiusto e avere la saggezza di saper rispondere. Come le sorelle non dovremmo esitare ad affrontare l'ingiustizia e sfidare le norme sociali, perché così facendo proprio come quelle sorelle, potremmo fare la differenza generazioni di ragazze. 4. Impariamo cosa sia essere delle guide. Le sorelle hanno mostrato di essere delle leader nella loro volontà di prendere una posizione.  Mosè mostrò di essere leader nell'essere disposto ad  ascoltare e a cambiare. Entrambi erano disposti a sottomettersi a Dio. La leadership non è né solitaria né di genere, né autoritaria né roboante. La leadership è condivisa, percettiva e aperta. Se saremo disposti a vivere così assieme, allora il Regno di Dio potrà venire. Amen.

A difficult (but not as difficult to listen to as you might think!) conversation with philosopher, sociologist, and theologian Elaine Storkey about the state of woman-directed violence worldwide in all its forms, including: - selective abortion and infanticide - genital mutilation - early and enforced marriage - honor killings - domestic violence - trafficking and prostitution - rape - war and sexual violence But stick with us! There is some hope mixed in with the horror. And although this conversation was recorded in 2020, there is an obvious resonance with the recent murders in Atlanta.
