"Broad Church" is a word in ENGLISH
A portion of the Church of England, consisting of
persons who claim to hold a position, in respect to doctrine and
fellowship, intermediate between the High Church party and the Low
Church, or evangelical, party. The term has been applied to other
bodies of men holding liberal or comprehensive views of Christian
doctrine and fellowship.
When, as happened recently in France, an attempt is made to coerce women out of the burqa rather than creating a situation in which a woman can choose what she wishes to do, it’s not about liberating her, but about unclothing her. It becomes an act of humiliation and cultural imperialism. It’s not about the burqa. It’s about the coercion. Coercing a woman out of a burqa is as bad as coercing her into one. Viewing gender in this way, shorn of social, political and economic context, makes it an issue of identity, a battle of props and costumes. It is what allowed the US government to use western feminist groups as moral cover when it invaded Afghanistan in 2001. Afghan women were (and are) in terrible trouble under the Taliban. But dropping daisy-cutters on them was not going to solve their problems.
