(That particular pastoral candidate turned down the offer.) But I know patriarchy is the reality in too many churches in this world. Come, Lord Jesus. Come.
Women in Christianity: A Review

Advantages and Disadvantages
By: Susan Harris Howell | February 16, 2014
One of my first objectives in teaching a Gender Studies course is to help my students realize that neither gender has all the advantages while the other is completely without perks. While most people have at least a vague awareness that males have it easier in many ways, women and men alike sometimes don’t [...]
Love: Not Just for Your Valentine
By: Hannah Rasmussen | February 14, 2014
My friends and I are rebelling this February 14th by celebrating Anna Howard Shaw Day. Born February 14th 1847, this Methodist minister joined Susan B. Anthony and others to lead the women’s suffragist movement in the United States.
