Taken together, these six lives show how men and women of the BICC experienced and sequenced their piety in different ways. Women usually remained tied to the church throughout their lives, while men often had a more strained relationship with it. Church doctrine was not always flexible enough to accommodate expected masculine gender roles, particularly male membership in political and economic institutions or participation in important male communal practices. The study is based on more than fifteen years of extensive oral history research supported by archival work in Zimbabwe, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The oral accounts make it clear, official versions to the contrary, that the church was led by spiritually powerful women and that maleness and mission-church notions of piety were often incompatible. The life-history approach illustrates how the tension of gender roles both within and without the church manifested itself in sometimes unexpected ways: for example, how a single family could produce both a legendary woman pastor credited with mediating multiple miracles and a man - her son - who joined the armed wing of the Zimbabwe African People's Union nationalist political party and fought in Zimbabwe's liberation war in the 1970s. Investigating the lives of men and women in equal measure, The Gender of Piety uses a gendered interpretive lens to analyze the complex relationship between the church and broader social change in this region of southern Africa. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 20 Brethren in Christ Church|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n83055611|zZimbabwe|zMatabeleland|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009005546-781|xHistory |y20th century|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006165|vCase studies.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001484 610 20 Brethren in Christ Church|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n83055611|zZimbabwe|zMatabeleland|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009005546-781 |vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001237 610 27 Brethren in Christ Church.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/580950 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Sex role|xReligious aspects|xBrethren in Christ Church. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2020003800 650 0 Christianity and politics|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85025283|zZimbabwe|zMatabeleland|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009005546-781|xHistory |y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006165 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Sex role|xReligious aspects|xBrethren in Christ Church. |2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/2018515 650 7 Christianity and politics.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/859736 650 7 Gender roles.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/ homoit0000577 651 0 Matabeleland (Zimbabwe)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2009005546|xChurch history|y20th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005033 651 7 Zimbabwe|zMatabeleland.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1237787 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Case studies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423765 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Church history.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1411629 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Electronic books.|2lcgft 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 655 7 Case studies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2017026140 776 08 |iPrint version:|aUrban-Mead, Wendy.|tGender of piety |z9780821421574|w(DLC) 2015016213|w(OCoLC)895302129 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1044811|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
