Mutuality Guidelines for Writers

Mutuality seeks to provide inspiration, encouragement and information about equality within the Christian Church around the world. Mutuality is published quarterly, and is sent to all CBE members and subscribers. Mutuality is also available for purchase. 

  • Headquarters: Minneapolis, Minnesota
  • Distribution: International
  • Other publications: Priscilla Papers and E-Quality
  • Website: www.cbeinternational.org
  • Paid circulation is 1,900
  • Total distribution is 2,300
  • Key demographic: clergy, women leaders, scholars, seminary faculty and students, and laity interested in gender and the Bible
  • CBE is ecumenical, with members from over 80 denominations.
  • Approximately 68% of our readers have advanced degrees. Many are attending seminary or plan to attend seminary at some point. All share an interest in gender and the Bible.

Most of the articles we publish fall into the following categories:

  • Personal testimonies illustrating how biblical equality provides practical benefits to everyday lives.
  • Teaching on relevant Bible passages, explaining the meaning and showing how to apply it to daily life.
  • Reviews of books about biblical equality that would appeal to a wide audience. (Books must complete CBE's book service review process before being reviewed in Mutuality.)
  • Feature stories about issues related to CBE's mission and ministry.

The length of features is generally 1,300-2,500 words. Articles should follow the Chicago Manual of Style.

  1. Send articles to the attention of the editor at the postal address below or e-mail to mutuality@cbeinternational.org (if possible, as an attached Microsoft Word document). Please do not send more than two pieces at the same time, and do not submit a piece to another publication at the same time you have submitted it to us. We are unable to consider or respond to authors who send us more than two pieces at the same time, whose pieces are substantially over 3,000 words or whose submissions are not sent uniquely to Mutuality.
  2. In each issue we also feature book, film and/or music reviews. Lengths vary from about 650 to 1,200 words. Send these to the attention of the editor at the postal address below, or e-mail them to mutuality@cbeinternational.org.
  3. We attempt to respond to submissions as quickly as possible, but staff reading of manuscripts sometimes takes four weeks or more. We appreciate your patience. If we like your article, we may ask to hold it for possible publication in a future issue.
  4. The editors reserve the right to edit and shorten articles as necessary. If we make major changes in content, we will consult with the writer.
  5. Please include a two-to-three-sentence description of yourself with your manuscript or cover letter, along with your address, telephone number and e-mail address.
  6. We plan magazine issues four to six months in advance; please keep this in mind when sending timed pieces.
  7. Authors are given writers' copies as well as a gift certificate for one item (valued at $20 or less) from Equality Depot, CBE's book service.
  8. We assume all articles and reviews submitted are original and unpublished, and submitted exclusively to us. If your material is copyrighted, we assume you are authorizing us to publish it. Unless otherwise indicated, we also assume full reprint permission (in all media including various electronic media) of any item we publish. North American serial rights to the article include electronic rights and posting on our website (www.cbeinternational.org). We reserve the right to accept or reject any article submitted.
  9. CBE encourages the use of inclusive language for people and gender accurate translations for scripture.
  10. Articles should be accompanied by an abstract.
