dc.description.abstractThis research examined contempt's against women in orthodox churches. In the study an attempt was made to examine the opinion of some members of the orthodox churches within Kaduna State. A total of 698 respondents were selected from the orthodox churches in Kaduna State, using the stratified sampling technique. The data collected were analysed with simple summary descriptive statistics and inferential statistics which were used to test the hypotheses. Variables investigated were factors responsible for the perceived discrimination and the extent of discrimination against women within the churches. The findings revealed that the perceived discrimination is based on the way and manner certain Biblical injunctions are interpreted and adopted as doctrines within the churches. No significant difference was observed between the opinion of laity and clergy on the factors responsible for the perceived discrimination against women within the churches. However, the responses from the various churches differ significantly on the factors responsible for the discrimination. The study made recommendations as follows: the church leaders of orthodox churches should emphasize the place of women organization in the church such that it would be an encouragement to other women outside the fold to join Christendom. Biases should be identified, taught against and eliminated. Women should be given fair treatment in orthodox churches.en_US
