Complementarianism, Gender and Evangelism offers a feminist, sociological account of lived Sydney Anglicanism. Furthering the study of global evangelicalism, Rosie Clare Shorter provides a new frame for analyzing complementarianism as a specific discourse that uses gender to construct and regulate both faith and sexuality. This study theorizes that complementarianism is not simply a set of private beliefs, but rather a specific ecclesial discourse defining orthodoxy and orthopraxy. Embedded in language and the relationships between church leaders and parishioners, this discourse is used as an operation of power which limits Christian belief, behaviour and belonging.

Grounded in the author’s research and lived experience in the Sydney Anglican Diocese, the book provides a detailed study of individuals who worship and work at three parishes, covering both the stories told about Sydney Anglicans, and the lived experiences of Anglicans themselves, their identity, their faith and their communities.

Rosie Clare Shorter is a feminist researcher. She teaches at The University of Melbourne, Australia. She is on the executive of The Australian Women’s and Gender Studies Association, and was a co-convenor of the religion thematic group for The Australian Sociological Association from 2023-2025.
