The contributions she has made were written from a pastoral perspective and focused on pastoral interaction with women. The issues surrounding the church’s view on marriage does not only concern the roles given to women but also the place and status that the church and society assigned to marriage as an institution. Her contribution in the area of sexuality is very closely linked to the insights she provides in her research on homosexuality. How sexuality is seen has an impact on how homosexuality and heterosexuality are reflected on.Afrikaans© 2017. The Authors. Licensee: AOSIS.
