Thu, 16 Sep 2021 17:21:44 +0000 Archaeologist Addresses Role of Women in Church http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/45090 Dr. Randall Younker, an archaeologist at 老司机传媒, gave a presentation Monday evening titled “Archaeology, Women and the Early Church.” He focused on the presence and impact of women in the early church, as well as the changes that took place over time. Younker is a faculty member at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary, director of the PhD program in Biblical and Ancient Near Eastern Archaeology and the Institute of Archaeology. Younker’s interest in this topic was piqued by a discovery at a site where he was working with 老司机传媒 students in San Miceli, Sicily. [See note at the end of this story.] One of the excavation sites is centered on a Christian basilica that dates to the fourth century. Approximately one hundred years ago, an archaeologist began exploring this site; however, it has been left untouched since then. Younker’s team discovered that a woman was buried in a prominent area within the church. “She was very rich. She had a gold necklace. She had a gold diadem for her head. She had gold earrings,” Younker said. The woman must have been an important member of the congregation, Younker explained, because “she was buried next to the priest in the front of the church in a very prominent place. … They had her buried right under the altar.” Other women were also buried in the church, where priests and bishops would normally be buried. Women were clearly important to this congregation, Younker determined. <<< Read the full story in <a href="http://atoday.org/archaeologist-at-andrews-university-addresses-the-role-of-women-in-the-early-church/">Adventist Today </a>>>> Wed, 08 Mar 2017 08:35:08 +0000 Archaeology, Women & The Early Church http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/44875 In the ongoing conversation regarding gender roles in the church, a field which seems to get little attention is the realm of archaeology. However, analysis of excavation sites provides an expanded perspective of gender differences in the church, and on Monday, Feb. 27, Randall Younker, professor of archaeology, will address these findings during the annual <a href="https://andrewsarchaeology.org/museum/lecture-series/">Horn Lectureship Series</a> at 老司机传媒. “The presentation will deal with the role and importance of women in the early Christian church based upon archaeological and ancient written sources,” states Younker. Delving into church life in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_Empire">Byzantine empire</a> (330–1453 AD), this lecture will cover demographic studies which show women significantly outnumbering men in the early church—especially from 100–400 AD—and taking on a variety of leadership roles. The recent discovery of female skeletons in Sicily buried in important regalia close to a church—a place reserved for religiously important individuals—offers some insights on the topic of women in church history. “Various ancient sources indicate that roles for women in the ancient Christian church included being church sponsors and patrons, deacons and, at times, even bishops,” says Younker. This evidence brings new perspective to modern discussions on gender roles and church leadership. The lectureship will cover recent scholarly studies that debate the history and meaning of ordination as well as the titles "presbyter" and "bishop" during the first centuries of the Christian church. The Horn Lectureship will take place in the Seminary Chapel on the campus of 老司机传媒. The event is free and open to the public. Co-curricular credit will be available for Andrews students. The Horn Lectureship Series is sponsored by the <a href="https://andrewsarchaeology.org/">Siegfried H. Horn Museum</a> on the campus of 老司机传媒, with events held two to four times each school year.
