But What About Women Deacons & Elders?
By: TL K. | September 5, 2013
...But, what about women elders and deacons? Not all men are called to the “five fold ministries”, and neither are all women. In general fewer women than men are called and appointed by God to the above ministries in the Body of Christ. This is often due to the simple fact that women in their [...]

By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | September 5, 2013
Celebrating diversity in the leadership of the early church.
De la violencia a la ternura
By: José Vinces Rodríguez | September 5, 2013
Seguimos fundamentando a través de una incorrecta, sesgada y hasta “convenida” interpretación bíblica estos patrones discriminadores e inequitativos, que a la postre propician una desvalorización de la mujer, relegándola hasta el plano de “cosificarla”. (Spanish)
Male Rule a Biblical Ideal? (Part One)
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | September 4, 2013
Why is patriarchy so entrenched not only within the major faith traditions, but particularly among Christians? One obvious answer is that the “he will rule over you” of Genesis 3:18 was one of the first consequences of sin in the garden. But unlike the other effects of sin—death, toil and work, or even pain in [...]
Single Dad Households on the Rise
By: H. Edgar Hix | September 1, 2013
According to the Pew Research Center, 2.6 million households in the U.S. are led by a single father in 2011. This means that in the U.S. about 25% of single-parent families are now headed by a father, not a mother. And, the number is growing.
Profound Submission
August 30, 2013
Few things bring me more joy than seeing the gospel incarnated in the different cultures of our world, and few things shed more light on the gospel. Each culture has the potential to reveal something of the nature of God and his love. I was reminded of this recently when I read two accounts about [...]
Me Duelle Mi Corazón (My Heart Pains Me)
By: Madeline Pasch | August 28, 2013
Two months later and I can still picture Isabella: her small arms gently rock a baby with more expertise than a fourteen year-old girl should have. Her tiny-heeled shoes and grown-up blouse seem out of place with her girlish dimples.
Whatever You Do (Part Three)
By: John Newton | August 21, 2013
Paul’s emphasis throughout his instructions is not on authority in relationships or on rights, but on serving. He does not give permission to a husband to go to his wife and tell her, “It’s your duty to submit to me,” or to parents to demand obedience from their children.
Gender Division Divides the Church
By: Margaret Mowczko | August 18, 2013
I always get a thrill when I read the words of this song. In this song the church is described as being wonderfully universal and inclusive of all God’s people around the world who have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. Interestingly, while the lyrics of this song go into some detail [...]
Whatever You Do (Part Two)
By: John Newton | August 14, 2013
If Paul had been typical for his time, he would have given instructions only to wives (to submit to their husbands), children (to obey their parents) and slaves (to obey their masters). But in each case Paul also addresses husbands, parents, and masters. By doing so, Paul puts everyone on an equal footing.
