‘In the kitchen because there’s no space for me’ testimony and epistemology in newfrontiers women
Abstract
Newfrontiers is a neo-Charismatic network of churches that adheres to complementarian church governance. This article presents the results and analysis of research involving women in this network. The primary scriptural story told about women who seek power is that of Jezebel. These women gave testimony about the good and the bad they experienced and their encounters with the church and with God. The study concludes with an analysis that finds epistemic injustice and negotiation via embodiment and mystical practices. Jezebel’s story is re-read in light of the accounts of these women alongside feminist and postcolonial commentators.
