| - | '''Complementarianism''' is a theological view held by some in [[Judaism]], [[Christianity]], and [[Islam]], that [[men]] and [[women]] have different but ''complementary'' roles and responsibilities in [[marriage]], [[family]] life, [[List of religious leaders in 2008|religious leadership]], and elsewhere. The word "complementary" and its cognates are currently used to denote this view. For some of those whose complementarian view is [[biblically]]-prescribed, these separate roles preclude women from specific functions of ministry within the [[Christian Church|Church]], with the notable exception of the leadership role of the [[deaconess]], in many [[Christian denominations]]. It assigns leadership roles to men and support roles to women, based on certain biblical passages. One of its precepts is that while women may assist in the decision making process, the ultimate authority for the decision is the purview of the male in marriage, courtship, and in the polity of churches subscribing to this view. | + | '''Christian egalitarianism''' (derived from the [[French language|French]] word '''égal''', meaning ''equal'' or ''level''), also known as '''biblical equality''', is [[egalitarianism]] based in Christianity.
