6. SEBTS Chapel - Russell Jones March 6, 1986

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).

7. SEBTS Convocation on Women in Ministry April 11 to 13, 1985

Descrizione:
The guest speaker for the SEBTS Convocation on Women in Ministry was Letty M. Russell who was Professor of the Practice of Theology at Yale Divinity School (00:00-03:41). The title of Russell’s convocation speech is “Woman in Ministry: Problem or Possibility,” and she states that her attention will be focused on what has been called the “Strasbourg Shift” (03:42-12:05). Russell believes that men in the church view the creation order as a pyramid of domination with men above women in the hierarchy, and this domination has been masked by the label of maintaining orthodoxy even though both sexes have been called into one ministry and one baptism (12:06-19:51). She examines the abuse of the hierarchical structure of Reformed ecclesiology, and she offers other paradigms that celebrates diversity, humility, and inclusiveness and creates order through a synergetic spectrum (19:52-28:48). Russell states that ministry should be defined through servanthood, specifically the humble posture of Christ as the servant and liberator (28:49-37:56). Russell concludes her convocation speech by speaking on the pinnacle complex, and she says, “we must let Pharaoh go and embrace the rainbow” (37:57-47:15).
