| dc.description.abstract | Women's leadership has become a real phenomenon in public life and has become one
of the hottest topics discussed in the framework of the struggle for gender equality and
the rise of women. The openness of today's church to women's involvement in ministry
opens up opportunities for women to appear in the public sphere, especially leadership
in the church. This study aims to examine the leadership of female sintua in the
Simalungun Protestant Christian Church (GKPS) by taking a case study in the GKPS
Padang Bulan congregation, Medan. In this study, the study of women's sintua
leadership style and obstacles in the practice of female sintua leadership became the
main study. This research was conducted using descriptive qualitative methods, with
data collection techniques using interviews, observation, and documentation. Data
analysis techniques used in this study are data reduction, data presentation, and
conclusions. The results of this study show that women's sintua leadership style tends
to lead to feminine leadership style and transformational leadership style. The
leadership style of female sintua is in accordance with the concept of leadership in the
church which emphasizes service. This research also shows how the problem of time
distribution for the implementation of domestic duties inherent in the role of wife and
motherhood in a woman is the most obvious obstacle felt directly by female sintua
when they want to enter and play a role in public spheres such as leadership in the
church. This is one clear example of one of the manifestations of gender injustice
experienced by women, namely the double burden. | en_US |
