Any contribution made to the research by colleagues with whom I have worked at Charles Sturt University or elsewhere during my candidature is fully acknowledged. I agree that this thesis be accessible for the purpose of study and research in accordance with the normal conditions established by the Executive Director, Library Services or nominee, for the care, loan and reproduction of theses. 5 Acknowledgements Researching and writing a part-time and distance thesis that is concerned with the themes of grace, the body and the Holy Spirit and an inclusive sexuality has been an arduous and risky enterprise for a Franciscan friar during the past eight and a half years. Many people have shared in these years of research and writing and responded positively and hopefully to the theme of the thesis. I thank them all for their time, their gifts and their patience. I acknowledge specifically: St Mark‘s National Theological Centre, Canberra and the Centre for Research and Graduate Training of Charles Sturt University enabled my work financially and practically. I thank the Right Reverend Dr Tom Frame, Associate Professor and Director of St Mark‘s National Theological Centre, Associate Professor Dr David Neville, Head of the School of Theology at CSU, the Faculty and students at St Mark‘s National Theological Centre, Canberra, and the Reverend Professor James Haire of the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture who provided welcome spaces for research and writing. No research is possible without a library, and as a distance student, my work has been greatly facilitated by the librarians at St Mark‘s Library, especially Susan Phillips and Kaye Malins. My Principal Supervisors have been the Right Reverend Dr Stephen Pickard and since 2006, Dr Heather Thomson of St Mark‘s. Co-supervisors have been the Very Reverend Dr Don Saines, the Reverend Dr Graeme Garrett, and Associate Professor, the Reverend Dr Scott Cowdell. For their encouragement, exacting standards, challenging questions and invigorating discussions I give heartfelt thanks. The community of Post-Graduate Scholars at St Mark‘s provided encouragement, critical interest and support. It has been a privilege to work alongside Matthew Anstey, Cliff Bird, Marilyn Clark, Jane Foulcher, Jonathan Geddes, the late David Hunter, Chris Ledger, Jeanette Mathews, Alice Murray and John Robinson. Thanks to the Reverend Dr Barry Rogers of Melbourne and Brother Kentigern John SSF in Leeds, UK, for reading and responding to the thesis. The Brothers of the Society of Saint Francis (the Anglican Franciscan Brothers) in the Australia New Zealand Province have given unstinting

  • Rosemary Radford Ruether's Jesus: an Iconoclastic Liberator
    TTJ 11.1 (2008): 117-129 ISSN 1598-7140 Rosemary Radford Ruether’s Jesus: An Iconoclastic Liberator Miyon Chung Torch Trinity Graduate School of Theology, Korea The integrity of the Christian tradition is indisputably grounded upon the person and work of Jesus Christ. The meaning of the Chris- tian confession that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever,”1 however, has produced exceedingly diverse interpretations for theological methods and content.2 With the arrival of feminist theo- logians in the middle of the twentieth century, the very credibility of the Christian tradition was retested for its content and relevance based on their insistence that there exists an inseparable causal relationship between gender experience, theological interpretations, and praxis.3 Spe- cifically, feminist theologians argue that orthodox Christology reflects predominantly androcentric patriarchal ideology and therefore has failed to communicate Jesus’ iconoclastic, subversive teaching and life against status systems, especially within religious communities. They, therefore, claim that “the Christ symbol must be reconstructed so that all who engage it may find in it a source of human liberation.”4 1. Heb 13:8 (NIV). 2. See, for example, Jaroslav Pelikan, Jesus Through the Centuries: His Place in the History of Culture (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1985). 3. Ann Loades, “Introduction,” in Feminist Theology: A Reader, ed. A. Loades (London: SPCK, 1990), 3. See also Ann Carr, “Is a Christian Feminist Theology Possible?,” Theological Studies 45 (1982): 295. 4. Maryanne Stevens, “Introduction,” in Reconstructing the Christ Symbol: Essays in Feminist Christology (New York: Paulist, 1993), 1. It should be noted that analyzing feminist methodologies of biblical hermeneutics and theology is almost impossible: because of “the overwhelming diversities.” But they do have a consistent starting point, the experience of oppression, and a goal which is liberation for all.

    Annual Report 2010 Mission Statement St Paul’s Cathedral stands as a symbol and focus of the presence of God in the world and is served by a community of people who work and worship in this place. Founded in 604, we continue to share in the ministry of the Bishop and Diocese of London and in the wider mission of the Church throughout the world. In the 21st century we present a place of refreshment and encounter in which Church, City and nation meet to celebrate a common history and discern the kingdom of God within the new horizons of an international metropolis. Using our diverse skills we cherish for future generations the inheritance of worship, scholarship, teaching, music making, art and architectural craft. Valuing this inheritance we are committed to the cultural diversity, equal opportunities, and personal development of all who work here. We welcome all who visit this House of God.

I also wish to thank my supervisory panel, Dr Ralph Norman, Professor Bee Scherer and Professor Robert Beckford, for allowing me the space and freedom I needed and for their continued support and guidance from day one. Abstract This thesis explores the potential that lies in the engagement of critical theory and theology. Rather than a mere demonstration of how theology can be used in the service of critical theory, its original contribution is in the demonstration of theological self- reflective criticality that this engagement brings about.

By and large, Americans form their moral conscience based on the teachings of the church and so since the church condemns homosexuality, Americans blindly accept this teaching. This condemnation has done immense harm to the LGBT community and it is time for the LGBT community to reclaim Christianity.
