Sharing the church
Despite being such an important factor for individual identity, Orthodox churches have not been sufficiently studied. In addition, the study of gender in these churches often seems formed by the impression that they do not change. This article therefore explores a seemingly static feature, the gendered seating in three Syriac Orthodox parishes in Sweden, from the point of view of space and agency: who and what is creating the present order of sea…

While recent scholarly investigations mainly discuss the theological arguments or the historical precedent, there are few if any studies which actually take living practices and real women deacons into account, as in this study of three Syriac Orthodox congregations in Sweden.

Although each of these texts conveys what Peter Brown has termed the "myth of the desert," i.e. a portrayal of monks as being part of another world, I argue that the same texts also refle…
