Honor
By: Gricel Medina | November 16, 2013

By: Daniel Fan | November 13, 2013
I am an activist by calling. I get to travel to exotic places, talk to some really neat people, and occasionally, write about my experiences and take pictures.

Excalibur: Double Standards or Double-edged?
By: Elspeth Titus | November 8, 2013
When I relocated to Durban from my native Cape Town in South Africa, I started attending a charismatic church after some months in the city.

A Woman's Call
By: Elizabeth Conde-Frazier | November 6, 2013
Women are not always allowed to exercise the full authority given to them by the charisms of the Holy Spirit. Authority is defined as a struggle to be self-defining. It is not found in what others say, but in the inner voice of self. A gift from God. This is the voice in our lives [...]

By: Christine A. Smith | October 30, 2013
Women called of God to serve as senior/solo/lead pastors are frequently confronted with barriers imposed by systems, structures and individuals. However, some barriers lie within. Below is an excerpt from Beyond the Stained Glass Ceiling: Equipping and Encouraging Female Pastors, chapter 3, “What Stands in Our Way?” pp. 49–51 (Judson Press, 2013) that confronts this subtle [...]
Recognizing the Women Workers of Sri Lanka
By: Jasmine Obeyesekere Fernando | October 30, 2013
Much of the economy of Sri Lanka runs on the hard work of low wage earning women. These women who are from lower social strata of society contribute significantly to the national economy, but their role and contribution are underemphasized and undervalued. Garments and tea are Sri Lanka’s chief exports, bringing in the highest [...]
