Patriarchy is so entrenched in our culture and minds that we automatically view anything else as wrong, abhorrent, or even evil. Yet the injustice perpetrated by patriarchy is the true evil. You do’t have to look far to see the control, abuse, and rejection that many women, LGBTQIA+ and non-binary people have experienced in patriarchal churches. So, if we seek a world of peace, justice, and love, we need to remove the influence of patriarchy in our communities. And to do that, we need to ensure that our worship stops promoting and legitimising patriarchal values, ideals, and attitudes.


In this episode of The Progressive Worship Podcast we explore how patriarchy impacts our worship and people in seen and unseen ways. And we consider how worship can free us all from the negative effects of patriarchy by becoming more visibly and intentionally inclusive.
