Transforming Our World of Faith: Attitudes About Sexual Harassment and Abuse
By: Esther Mombo | July 22, 2012
The church in Africa has not been able to name and shame sexual harassment and abuse in society in general or in Christian families specifically. The silence has led to untold misery for sexual harassment survivors. In order for the church to remain credible in society, it must name and challenge sexual harassment, and must [...]
Trinitarian Concept of Mutuality
By: Richard Howell | July 22, 2012
The Bible teaches equality and essential dignity of men and women of all ethnicities, ages, and classes, as all are created in the image and likeness of God.

Christian Response to Gender Issues in Africa in the Era of HIV and AIDS
By: Esther Mombo | July 22, 2012
Some areas of sexual violence have been perpetuated by cultural practices like wife inheritance (a male relative inheriting his kinsman’s wife after he dies).

By: Carrie A. Miles | July 22, 2012
The Bible presents a three-part story of human relationship with God and with each other. This story reveals that both man and woman were created equally in the image of God to fulfill an ideal—a “one flesh,” “naked and not ashamed” relationship. That was the crowning act of creation. The second part of the story [...]
Balancing a Gendered Worldview: Politics and Religion in Focus
By: David Kodia | July 22, 2012
In Kenya, many churches bar women from church leadership and some teach very strongly against women as religious leaders, hence men dominate church leadership. This is also manifested in the political arena, where women lack representation. This parallel suggests that barring women from leadership is not a biblical premise but a cultural one. This session [...]
