The Dangers of a Single Narrative: How Slander Hurts Women
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | October 1, 2024
CBE resources helped mobilize an international egalitarian movement to expose biblical misrepresentations embodied in the single narrative of male headship.
Lucretia Mott: Spiritual Warrior for Human Rights
By: Eliza Hodge Fitzgerald | September 26, 2024
In her day, it was said of Lucretia Mott, “There was...power in her calm, deliberate but pitiless logic that seemed to sway the minds of her hearers even against their will.” In a time when women were often not permitted to speak in public, “she spoke in public because she was conscious of a [...]
Back in the Picture
By: Amelia Smith | September 19, 2024
All too often, Christian churches tend to erase women from our presentations of the Gospel. We decorate our worship spaces with depictions of the Last Supper—thirteen men who all look the same, crowded around a table—and leave women wondering if there is any room for them.
Why Mothers Matter as much as Fathers in Shaping our Perception of God
By: Susanne Maynes | September 12, 2024
God ordained families to ensure children are begotten and raised by both image-bearers—male and female. Do we honestly think the way a mother interacts with her growing children in their formative years has nothing to do with how they see God later in life?
Tell Her Story: CBE’s Denver Conference Report
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | September 5, 2024
“Tell Her Story: Women in Scripture and History” gave newcomers to CBE a chance to drink in biblical and historical material at their own pace. It also gave seasoned egalitarians opportunities to drink from deeper wells of knowledge from speakers not yet included in their “great cloud of witnesses.”
Restoring Biblical Truth: Celebrating Patricia Gundry (1937–2024), an Egalitarian Pioneer
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | August 29, 2024
At a time when egalitarian theology was viewed with suspicion at best or, worse, a distortion of biblical truth, imagine the exhilarating freedom of finding an author who centered biblical and historical facts on women. The author I refer to is none other than the egalitarian pioneer, Patricia “Pat” Smith Gundry.
The Class That Changed My Life
By: Ashley A. | August 22, 2024
My mind went back through our organization’s marriage ministry, my class on marriage, the Southern Baptist Church my husband and I had attended. They all taught that wives submit to their husbands. I do not remember them mentioning mutual submission. They never pointed out Ephesians 5:21.
Arise and Shine!
By: Hannele Ottschofski | August 15, 2024
Not all women are treated as human beings of equal worth. I believe that God wants us to dispel the darkness where women have been kept, unable to shine, and use the gifts God has given them to his glory. I am not afraid to speak up about injustice and to promote gender equality.
The Calling We Missed
By: Aaron K. Husband | August 8, 2024
For the longest time, I assumed Genesis 2:18 meant the husband was the leader of the family and the wife was the subordinate helper. Yet, as a man, I’m also called to be an ezer, a helper—a strengthening companion—to those around me, helping them choose the way of life over death.
Using Genesis 2 for Wedding Sermons: Avoiding Questionable Interpretations
By: Li Tim Hao | August 1, 2024
Genesis 2 is undoubtedly one of the most popular wedding sermon texts. The church has developed some conventional applications for this chapter regarding love and marriage. However, some of these applications may not fully align with the original intent of the writer of Genesis.
