CBE Endorsement: So many of my friends are women whom God has called, but they face hostility in some sectors of the church because of their gender . . . and sometimes the very sectors of the church where they would have most hoped their call to be biblically affirmed. CBE provides a ministry where they can nurture their call among other believers who affirm Scripture’s authority and also support their calling. I am grateful for the many people CBE has encouraged and equipped for ministry, and pray for God’s continued blessings on it.
Craig Keener serves on CBE’s Board of Reference.
