About

CBE will host "Are Men from Mars and Women from Venus? A Biblical Response to Gender Difference," a conference on gender and culture on July 24-26, 2009. Christian anthropologists and leaders will deliver four general sessions, conduct twenty workshops, and participate in a panel discussion on gender and culture during the event. Rooted in biblical and anthropological perspectives, the conference will explore how church, society, and government define gender. Come learn and fellowship with us!
