This chapter highlights several events from 1973 to 1978, concluding with the 1978 Consultation on Women in Church-Related Vocations. These events demonstrated the attempts of Southern Baptists to cultivate evangelical feminism within Southern Baptist life. Together with the Sappington resolution, such events reveal how tensions between evangelical feminism and traditional womanhood triggered unease among denominationalists as well as conservatives.Less

This chapter bases its analysis of rapid changes in conceptions of race and gender in the contextual shifts in authority, autonomy, and demography within Dissenting Protestantism around the world, particularly between the bureaucratized, wealthy global North and the poor, mostly non-white and female churches in the global South. The chapter ‘embraces the intersection’ of categories of race and gender to avoid overlooking lived, embodied experiences of people as both ‘gendered and raced’. Subjects covered include Pentecostalism’s fresh expressions of gender and conceptions of race, women’s work in the international missionary movement and the social gospel, new dissenting Christianities and expressions of racial identities in a context of decolonization and the rise of independent churches; the civil rights movement in the USA and the rise of second-wave feminism; conservative reactions to evangelical feminism, ‘complementarian’ gender roles, and the demographic shift in (D)issenting Protestantism—the rise of the global South.Less
