Though I write from the academy, many of the same patterns and structures exist in any [...]
Be Doers of the Word
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 5, 2015
Unhappy that women have eclipsed men in some spheres, a man once lamented that he had been put in the “backseat” behind women.

Editor's Note: Walking the Talk
By: Tim Krueger | March 5, 2015
In this expanded issue, egalitarian leaders offer practical insights on how we can move from belief to action in a variety of contexts. You’ll find several common themes, among them the need for everyone to take part, to be intentional, and to stand up (or to step aside) for what we believe.
10 Ways to Support Women of Color in Leadership
By: Austin Channing Brown | March 5, 2015
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but white, American, evangelical spaces can be tough for women of color to navigate successfully. The very presence of women of color often lays bare how far these spaces (which are generally not created with us in mind) are from modeling the true—diverse—body of Christ.

Women's History Month: Hope
By: Callan Martin | March 4, 2015
