“…We would like to thank Momin Rahman, Margaretha van Es, and two anonymous reviewers for very helpful comments on an earlier version of this article. Some sections of this article are based on a previous publication in Dutch by Daan Beekers: 'Vroomheid, seksualiteit en maatschappijkritiek: geleefde waarden onder soennitische en gereformeerde jongvolwassenen in Nederland', Religie & Samenleving 11 2 2013and Nyhagen and Halsaa (2016). In the Netherlands, some policy-oriented studies based on comparative qualitative research look specifically at the acceptance of homosexuality and LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) people (Huijnk, 2014;Keuzenkamp, 2010).…”

This article offers a comparative study of everyday sexual ethics among Dutch Sunni Muslim and evangelical Christian young adults, both those born into religious families and those converted later in life. In European public debates, the sexual values of observant Christians and – especially – observant Muslims, are commonly understood to deviate from progressive norms. Particularly for Muslims, this has become a ground for questioning their belonging to the moral nation. Our ethnographic analysis complicates these conventional representations, which are partly reflected in quantitative survey research. We argue that the sexual ethics of the young Muslims and Christians we studied are multi-layered, situational, and dialogical. Discussing the convergences and divergences between these groups, we point to a paradox: while Muslims tend to be set apart as sexually ‘other’, the young Christians we worked with – and to a lesser extent the converted Muslims – put strikingly more effort into distinguishing themselves from, and criticising, dominant sexual norms.

“…Dette skjer ved at kvinner får hovedansvar for omsorgsoppgaver, barneoppdragelse og trosopplaering, mens menighetenes øverste ledere hovedsakelig er menn. Studiene viser likevel at selv om migrantmenigheter fremstår som patriarkalske kjønnsregimer, er kvinnedeltagelsen her større enn den var i opphavslandet (Chafetz & Ebaugh, 2000;Predelli, 2003Synnes, 2012;Maeland, 2015;Nyhagen & Halsaa, 2016;Es, 2016).…”

Artikkelen belyser unge muslimer og kristnes forhandling av kjønn i migrantmenigheter: 1) Hvordan forhandler unge muslimer og kristne forventningene knyttet til kjønn, forbundet med religiøse klesdrakter og kjønnsdelte arbeidsoppgaver? Og 2), hva kan ungdommenes oppfatninger av religiøse koder og kjønnsdelte arbeidsoppgaver fortelle om symbolsk grensedragning mellom deres tilhørighet til en minoritetsgruppe og tilhørighet til majoritetssamfunnet? Data består av 23 kvalitative intervjuer med tenåringer og unge voksne i alderen 16-35 år. Ungdommene forhandlet stadig kleskoder og kjønnsdelte arbeidsoppgaver ut fra ulike religiøse, moralske og kulturelle forventninger. De skilte mellom religion og kultur, og argumenterte for likestilling ut fra religiøse tekster eller praktiske hensyn. De la vekt på verdier som mangfold og toleranse-de muslimske også autentisitet og individualitet.

“…Given evangelicalism’s historic propensity to espouse restrictive roles for women (Bebbington 1989), the re-articulation of tradition, while comparatively progressive, was nevertheless hardly a clean break from historic beliefs that have contributed to gender inequality. Moreover, the emphasis on the sexes being equal but different reflects the findings of Nyhagen and Halsaa (2016) who found that European Christian women hold such beliefs, suggesting that this is a cross-national phenomenon.…”

Postfeminist, engaged and resistant: Evangelical male clergy attitudes towards gender and women’s ordination in the Church of England

Despite the introduction of female bishops, women do not hold offices on equal terms with men in the Church of England, where conservative evangelical male clergy often reject the validity of women’s ordination. This article explores the gender values of such clergy, investigating how they are expressed and the factors that shape them. Data is drawn from semi-structured interviews and is interpreted with thematic narrative analysis. The themes were analyzed with theories on postfeminism, engaged orthodoxy and group schism. It is argued that participants’ gender values are best understood as postfeminist and that the wider evangelical tradition, as well as a perceived change in Anglican identity with the onset of women’s ordination, shape their postfeminism. Moreover, whilst evangelical gender values possess the potential to foster greater gender equality within the Church of England, gender differentiation limits this possibility, a limitation that could be addressed by increasing participants’ engagement beyond the Church.
