Carol Lakey Hess’ “Caretakers of Our Common House”: Gender Socialization and Women and Conversational Education (Chapter 6)
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing Hess’ “Caretakers of Our Common House”. Carol Lakey Hess’ “Caretakers of Our Common House: Women’s Development in Communities of Faith” studies not only areas connected with faith, theology and women’s experience but also the various aspects in the difference of female socialization in regards to “caring and connection” and how this relates to theological interpretation. The idea of the practice of faith within communities relates to Hess’ argument that separation and connection is obtained through “hard dialogues and deep connections” in which girls and women care be nurtured to be caretakers of their “own house” (self) as well as the “common house” (the community of faith). Women, through conversational education and strong leadership in the religious community can overcome the generations of gender socialization which have largely led to men as powerful and women as servile, caring, and supportive which has resulted in women “losing themselves” to societal roles.

Christian Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist
[ send me this paper ]
This 21 page paper addresses two issues: the sequence in which these sacraments should be administered and the age at which a person should be able to receive them. These two issues have been debated for centuries, more so the issue of age than sequence. There are historical precedents for each of the debaters but there is theological evidence in terms of the proper sequence. The debate about the age at which a person should be able to receive each of the three sacraments is fuzzier and more complex than the issue of sequence. Many believe that a child should have attained the age of reason, about age seven, before receiving confirmation and First Communion. The writer presents the arguments and presents a conclusive opinion with justification that there is no reason not to administer all three in infancy. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
