equality/status of women in religion (4)
o One belief about gender is equality is that Paul taught ‘I permit no women to
teach or have authority over men…she is to remain silent showing women have
no place in the church, especially as priests and still today Catholic and orthodox
churches show gender discrimination.
o A contrasting Buddhist belief would be tat the Dalai lama said there was no
reason why a future Dalai couldn’t become enlightened plus the Buddha
ordained nuns, however was reluctant at first
Explain 2 contrasting beliefs in contemporary British society about social justice (4)
o A Xn belief about social justice is that everyone should work for social justice as
Jesus said ‘let justice roll on like a river and righteousness like an ever flowing
stream.’ Jesus helped lepes and tax collectors, all the people that were disliked
and so it encourages Xns that they should work to help everyone as well
o Buddha taught that while suffering is an investable part of life at the same time
people should try to reduce the dukkha of others by expressing compassion and
help bring communities together

Explain 2 contrasting beliefs in contemporary British society about freedom of religious
expression (4)
o Christians believe Jesus has told them about the Great Commissions to ‘make
disciples of all nations’ and so this usually ends up in the need for Xns to
evangelise and do missionary work. Xns believe salvation is only possible through
Jesus and so they try to convert others by telling them about their possible
experiences and exclaiming why Jesus really is the saviour
o Buddhists don’t preach their religion because the Buddha never preached but
instead he encouraged people to make their own decision as he encouraged all
Buddhists and others to listen to the religious teachers to see what they would
find as the best path to attain religious happiness and well-being.
