  • SEBTS Chapel - Russell Jones March 6, 1986

    Description:
    Disclaimer: The first portion of the service is inaudible. Russell Jones was an MDiv student at Southeastern Seminary. The service begins with Scripture readings (0:00-1:59). Several women give a presentation about the birth of Jesus (2:00-5:03). Jones shares his thoughts about women who have been called into ministry and reads from Galatians 3:28 (5:04-6:19). Jones admits to being a skeptic when it comes to Scripture, especially about God’s acceptance, and he speaks on the difficulty of hearing Paul say there is not a division to be made between types of people (6:20-7:40). He speaks on tearing down the walls of what a minister is supposed to be like, removing the masculine and feminine labels and replacing them with attributes devoid of gender assumptions (7:41-12:13). Jones argues that “denying church ordination to a person on the basis of sex” does a great injustice (12:14-18:29). The congregation shares in reciting the litany of affirmation (18:30-20:59). The service ends with a benediction (21:00-21:33).

  • SEBTS Chapel - Nancy Osborne March 5, 1986

    Description:
    The service begins with a call to worship through a responsive reading (0:00-0:99). The congregation is encouraged to examine their hearts, confess their sins and sorrows, and are led in prayer (1:00-5:25). Osborne reads from Genesis 1 and speaks about the powerful affirmation of being created in the image of God (5:26-6:32). She speaks about how our words and experience are tied together, giving examples of familiar images we associate with God (6:33-7:48). Osborne suggests the image of God as mother, which she believes to be colorful and new (7:49-8:40). She suggests that all the attributes of stereotypical males and females are attributes which we find in God, saying, “Just as the characteristics we typify as male or female are present in the humanness of all humans, so they are equally present in the godness of God” (8:41-9:43). Osborne argues that the female language of faith has been overlooked over the centuries in favor of the male language of faith, and that both aspects should be considered in relation to God and people (9:44-13:22). There is a litany of thanksgiving (13:23-15:04). Another speaker shares about how all people are made in the image of God and that creation would not be the same without people (15:05-16:40). One’s view on Jesus shifts based on the understanding that people are made in the image of God, that people are not called to be like Jesus, yet still image bearers of God (16:41-19:04). She shares moments when she saw the image of God played out (19:05-22:22). There is a litany of thanksgiving for people who have lived out God’s image in their day and who have worked to see free the image of God in others, such as the Hebrew midwives who subverted the power of Pharaoh, stuttering Moses, courageous Ruth, timid Mary, Sojourner Truth, Martin Luther King Jr., and others, including those who have personally touched the lives of the congregation (22:23-27:00). There is a congregational prayer and responsive reading (27:01-28:10).
