A identidade do homem frente ao protagonismo da mulher na religião: um estudo de caso na igreja evangélica Assembleia de Deus na cidade de Goiânia-GO

Abstract

The research theme is the identity of the man in relation to the role of women in religion, with an emphasis on the vision of the assembleian man, a member of the Evangelical Church Assembly of God (IEAD), in Goiânia, Goiás. The justification of this study is especially in the fact that the assembly leadership has shown male prevalence over the years, although the religious environment has opened up space for female activity in the pastorate. This protagonism is associated with the character that receives patriarchal prominence in this religious situation. Since the secularization of the assemblies of God in Brazil, women have played their part, collaborating with the Church's missions. In this denomination, not everyone recognizes the female pastorate, with different interpretations. The references and the case study, in the Assemblies of God Evangelical Churches, Fama Ministries and Jesus is the Bread of Life, are sources for verifying the advances of women occupying the position of authority and the majority thinking in this regard. Thus, the main objective is to show how male and female protagonism occurs in religion. The methodology consists of descriptive and field analytical research for data collection through a questionnaire with 14 questions, applied to 30 participants, in order to understand and explore the limits and opportunities of the group's responses. By simple statistics, the results are described, with figures, tables and charts. Assemblymen consider biblical precepts to be essential to teachings that include women's obedience in the family, social and religious contexts. In general, the pastorate presents itself as a forged figure of patriarchy. The woman generally acts as an auxiliary to her husband, although submission is understood as a Christian requirement of both sexes
