This means preparing to be a wife and mother, as well as eschewing a university education Higher education is tertiary education leading to award of an academic degree. Higher education, also called post-secondary education, third-level or tertiary education, is an optional final stage of formal learning that occurs after completio .... For most stay-at-home daughters this involves a focus on the "domestic arts" such as cooking, cleaning and sewing. Julie Ingersoll suggests that the purpose of stay-at-home daughters is to "learn to assist their future husbands as helpmeets in their exercise of dominion by practicing that role in their relationship with their father."

Biblical Patriarchy
Biblical patriarchy, also known as Christian patriarchy, is a set of beliefs in Reformed Evangelical Protestant Christianity concerning gender relations and their manifestations in institutions, including marriage, the family, and the home.

Sproul, Jr., Voddie Baucham, the Duggar family, and Douglas Phillips.

Biblical Womanhood
Biblical womanhood is a movement within evangelical Christianity, particularly in the United States. It adopts a complementarian or patriarchal view of gender roles, and emphasizes passages such as Titus 2 in describing what Christian women should be like. According to author Rachel Held Evans, it is driven by the conviction that "the virtuous woman serves primarily from the home as a submissive wife, diligent homemaker, and loving mother." Institutions supporting the movement include Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, while organizations associated with the movement include the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. Notable writers include Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Dorothy Patterson, Elisabeth Elliot, and Priscilla Shirer. Edith Schaeffer's 1971 book, ''The Hidden Art of Homemaking'', has been described as "perhaps unintentionally, a landmark book for proponents of biblical womanhood." Held Evans suggests that "biblical" is a l ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chalice Press
The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is a mainline Protestant Christian denomination in the United States and Canada. The denomination started with the Restoration Movement during the Second Great Awakening, first existing during the 19th century as a loose association of churches working towards Christian unity, then slowly forming quasi-denominational structures through missionary societies, regional associations, and an international convention. In 1968, the Disciples of Christ officially adopted a denominational structure at which time a group of churches left to remain nondenominational. It is often referred to as The Christian Church, The Disciples of Christ, The Disciples, or the DOC. The Christian Church was a charter participant in the formation of the World Council of Churches (WCC) and of the Federal Council of Churches (now the National Council of Churches), and it continues to be engaged in ecumenical conversations. The Disciples' local churches are congreg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Christian Movements

The International House of Prayer in Kansas City, MO is a visible example of this concept. * Anti-Judaism: The Quartodeciman controversy erupted in the 2nd century, and the anti-quartodeciman position became catholic doctrine at First Council of Nicea which forever severed Easter from Passover, both thematically and calendrically.

Women have played important roles in Christianity especially in marriage and in formal ministry positions within certain Christian denominations, and parachurch organizations.

The Pew Research Center studied the effects of gender on religiosity throughout the world, finding that Christian women in 53 countries are generally more religious than Christian men. While Christians of both genders in African countries are equally likely to regularly attend services.
