Marginalisation and Grace: Centres and peripheries in a world turned inside out

 
PEACEtalks goes ZOOM
 
There are many ways to think about and define the centres and peripheries of Christianity, who or what controls, shapes and influences the markers of belonging and right belief, who or what is mainstream or marginal. This talk, which focuses on ideas of centres and peripheries in the Anglican Diocese of Sydney, was intended to sit alongside three other talks at a – now cancelled – conference in New Zealand, which combined, would explore ideas of centres and peripheries in Protestant Christianity in Australia, along the lines of gender, sexuality and ‘race’.

In this talk, Rosie Clare will consider some of the ways in which gender and sexuality can be used to mark the spaces of centre and periphery, power and non-power, and what we might learn or do differently if we were to listen to those who speak and lead from the margins.

Rosie Clare Shorter is a PhD Candidate in the Religion and Society Research Cluster at Western Sydney University. She is studying Anglicanism as a lived religion in Sydney. She is interested in hearing about how people live their faith, and in exploring the interaction of gender, sexuality, evangelism and religious authority. She has a Master of Research and Bachelor of Creative Arts from Macquarie University.

 
 
This event is PEACEtalks: a monthly event (held on a Thursday or Saturday evening) starting at 7pm hosted by Paddington Anglican Church aimed at serving the community by promoting and cultivating deep conversations about life, the world and everything. ‘PEACE’ stands for ‘political, ethical, artistic & cultural engagement’. Also on iTunes / Apple Podcasts by searching for PEACEtalks.
