As more religious educators come into administrative positions in theological higher education, this article probes the religious educator and change. The article begins by examining religious education and its aims. It then offers different change theories and subsequently problematizes them as the article argues that community is foundational to change for religious educators of color and female religious educators. The article continues by introducing metaphors to speak of the religious educator and concludes with reflections as to why religious educators in administration present a persuasive possibility for change.Keywords: Religious educatoradministrationchangecommunityreligious education Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Statement and declarationThe author has no competing interests to declare that are relevant to the content of this article.Notes1 I acknowledge there are differences between religious education and Christian education, particularly in content, pedagogy, and sources of authority. However, the overall concept, mechanisms, and structures of something as particular as Christian education fall under the broader understanding of religious education.Additional informationNotes on contributorsMark Chung HearnMark Chung Hearn is Dean of Academic Affairs at Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, CA, USA.

{"title":"The Intersection of Religious/Christian Educator and Denominational Leader","authors":"Carmichael D. Crutchfield","doi":"10.1080/00344087.2023.2258316","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00344087.2023.2258316","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractI have the rewarding experience of being an administrator operating out of a denominational leadership role in Christian education. I have served in this role concurrently for over a decade as a full-time professor of Christian education at a seminary. In this autobiographical reflection, I discuss how I define my roles in the church and academy as one vocation. I spend my life juggling time and resources so that both roles are served at the highest level. I discuss in the paper how each of the roles intersect and inform one another.Keywords: Vocationadministrationdenominational service Conclusion – a life intertwined with GodSince teaching is as much \"showing” and “experiencing” as it is “telling” – and more effective when it’s the former – I have attempted in this brief piece to show and help readers to experience the intersection of my work as seminary faculty and denominational administrator with all the variations and expressions that are part of each. In the process, I have given some insights that have come from decades of work as a religious educator. It has been my aim to demonstrate how a singular vocation, that of religious educator, can be expressed in multiple facets, much like a prism. Further, I have intended to demonstrate how each aspect of location informs, enlivens, and expands upon the others, and how all of the expressions are tied back to the singular vocation of a life of faithfulness and discipleship following the pattern of Jesus.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 Karen B.

{"title":"Crossing Borders: Religious Education for Gender Equity in a Neoliberal Society","authors":"Hyun-Sook Kim","doi":"10.1080/00344087.2023.2219396","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00344087.2023.2219396","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractGender conflict, which is emerging as a serious concern in Korean society, is also a subject of discourse in the field of education. A vast majority of university students are affected by economic downturn and are required to compete in an uncertain situation. This study proposes an educational model from the perspective of understanding the younger generation, which is struggling in uncertain situations, rather than treating gender conflict merely as hatred between individual women and men. This paper also proposes an educational environment wherein students feel encouraged to deal with gender conflicts by understanding their liminal spaces and crossing borders for gender equity.Keywords: Gender equityneoliberalismwomen’s movement in Koreagender conflictfeminism reboot Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 While explaining the brief history of feminist theology, Rosemary Radford Ruether (Citation2002) describes many Hispanic and Asian women as cross-border theologians who are immigrants or visitors (10). Julie Browne (Citation2019) explains her experience as a medical educator and professor living in liminal spaces. She performs at least two professional roles, and she seeks to develop a mental attitude of living more comfortably in the in-between spaces (4–8). I define all theologians as inherently cross-border theologians, living in a liminal space. We all have an important theological task that constantly transgresses the boundary between the Realm of God and this world, between Christian tradition and human experiences, and between theology and human sciences. We, as educators living in liminal spaces, are also required to cross borders between teachers and students, between classroom and reality, and between knowledge and practice.2 The five phases of the Korean women's movement are those classified by the author, focusing on major events that occurred in the history of the women's movement and major changes in Korean society.3 By clarifying the relationship between identity and experience, Macdonald contends that experiences are causally related to their identities, but not in a deterministic way (Macdonald Citation2002, 122–127).Additional informationNotes on contributorsHyun-Sook KimHyun-Sook Kim is a professor of Christian Education at the United Graduate School of Theology at Yonsei University and Director of the Center for Gender Equity at Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea.
