Definition

  • Gender is a category of analysis that investigates how and why roles assigned to females and males in multiple and diverse religious communities are socially constructed, theologically undergirded, and lived out. It includes homosexuality and heterosexuality, femininities and masculinities, and it acknowledges a growing variety and complexity of sexual identities.
