Dismantling My Complementarian Marriage
By: Elizabeth K. Casey | August 5, 2015
We chose egalitarian marriage because it best reflected our needs, desires, and personalities as a couple. I no longer have to constantly question whether I am "being submissive enough" and Ray doesn't have to feel guilty that he isn't being a good enough spiritual leader.
5 Wedding Traditions That Could Use An Egalitarian Spin
By: Emmaline Kempf | August 5, 2015
Before doing something in your wedding because it’s a tradition, think about whether you are including it for the sake of tradition or because it means something to you. Either way, if you consider God’s design of equality in marriage to be your intention, then no tradition can hold sway over your marriage.
The Honorable Lebanese Man: A Satire
By: Phoebe Shaw | August 3, 2015
Recently, I’ve been hearing a lot of Lebanese men complaining about their place in society and the home. They keep saying that our society is sexist—an unfair and untrue accusation. There is complete gender equality in Lebanon. It’s just that men are more suited to some jobs than women are. Lebanese men [...]
4 More Sexist Myths That The Church Should Reject
By: Rachel Asproth | July 31, 2015
In my last article, "4 Sexist Myths That The Church Should Reject," I did my best to dismantle four sexist myths that have caused significant pain and division in the church. I wasn’t going to add to my list, but after many of you responded with sexist cultural myths of your own, I could see [...]
How Stories Help Us Think About Structures
By: Emily Louise Zimbrick-Rogers | July 29, 2015
My conference workshop, "A Question Mark Over My Head: Learning From the Narratives of Female Theologians in the Evangelical Academy," presented the voices of evangelical women theologians--the struggles and the triumphs, the creative ways in which they are following God's call, and their insight on the state of the church and the evangelical academy.
Rizpah: A Bible Woman Who Wanted
By: Lori Buckle | July 29, 2015
This quote reminds me of Bible women. Often, we are startled when we read their stories—precisely because they do not appear self-conscious. When they felt called to pursue God, they did so with fierce dedication. Significantly, that passionate spirit of want was traditionally (and continues to be today) associated with Bible men.
It's Not Like She's A Radical Feminist
By: Kelsey Widman | July 27, 2015
My back stiffened at the graduate student’s description of his wife, and my eyes darted to the other side of the classroom, where my friend Rachel looked as stunned as I did. Amir had been co-teaching our gender communication class for almost three months, and had approached every issue with a skillful blend of [...]
Women In Church History

It will be my privilege to offer a pre-conference workshop at CBE's LA Conference titled, "Women in Church History." This introductory session will explore the names, lives, thoughts, and contexts of notable Christian women across the centuries as well as provide a select chronological bibliography spanning the past one hundred and fifty years.
Man and Woman Together In Christ: The Inseparable Nature of Justification and New Creation
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | July 22, 2015
Both egalitarians and complementarians wish to retain the distinction of male and female, but for egalitarians, gender differences are not accompanied by rank, rule, authority, or power. It is not the male and female “distinctiveness but their inequalities of religious role that is abolished in Christ.”
To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before
By: Allen Yeh | July 20, 2015
If William Carey was the “father” of modern missions, was there a “mother?” Certainly, many prominent women have made their mark. Lottie Moon is considered the patron saint of Southern Baptist missions. Ann Judson was every bit as capable a missionary as her husband Adoniram.
