Opis

The broader issue in this study is social justice, with particular reference to gender justice which is underpinned by theological reflection. The question of ordination of women is a justice issue. However, the task of this study is not simply an exercise in scholarship. Rather, it is an analysis in the service of action for justice. Social justice explores reality in a variety of dimensions. Sometimes it focuses on isolated issues such as hunger and unemployment. At other times, it will deal with policies that address these issues, such as job training and monetary control. Thus, social justice is itself a structural question, not simply a personal matter. To this end, the study seeks further investigation in deep justice issues of sexism-unemployment, lack of educational opportunities, discriminatory pay, and lack of access to decision-making positions.
