Abstract

The article is an eco-feministic interpretation of James. It has the following hypotheses: the transformation of the patriarchal family is the key to the transformation of society. If friendship is the baseline structure of the relationship between people who understand their identity as being the missional body of Christ, equality and hospitality will result, creating space for congregations to be places where healing can take place and people can experience freedom. The concept household is defined and the implications of being a household of God, based on key concepts in James, provide more than twenty parameters for a theory of ministry.
