Let’s recover the biblical view for women’s leadership in the home, church, and world. Join us July 20–22, 2023, as we contemplate Scripture and address patriarchy in Brazil alongside leaders, scholars, and practitioners who desire for women and men to share authority equally.
Attending this conference will provide opportunities to engage with fellow egalitarians, access resources that are not readily available in churches and faith communities and learn from experts about the biblical basis for women and men to have shared and equal partnership. Register and attend to gain an understanding of how patriarchy is not only a global issue but is also an issue that restricts the forward momentum of the gospel.

Give to Empower People in Brazil
It is crucial that we provide scholarships so more people can attend CBE’s international conference in Brazil. The scholarships will be used to bring in students, pastors, and those who cannot afford to pay the registration fee. Understanding women’s biblical value and equality is essential to empowering their life, work, and studies.
We need to raise $8,000 for scholarships and $70,000 for planning costs.

Beyond these, the conference is an opportunity to meet and engage with other like-minded Christians, to encourage each other, and to grow as we dig into Scripture together. The opportunity to meet face to face with the conference speakers, to pray and worship together with other conference participants before each session, and to share meals, is an important part of developing a Christian community. Our desire is to create a space and a conversation that will extend far beyond the conference, contributing to the global church as a whole.
