Jesus or Paul
By: Guest Author | December 29, 2012
I recently spoke to a pastor who made his case for not supporting women as senior pastors. “I’ve asked many men this question,” he said. “As a man, when you see a woman up front preaching or teaching, what’s the first thing you think about? The first thing that comes into your mind [...]
Gender Balancing Our World: Be the Change, Part 2
By: Emily Nielsen Jones | December 26, 2012
Whatever religious language you dress it up in, patriarchy (whether benevolent or exploitative) is, at its core, an imbalanced gender project that subordinates one beneath another.
A Christmas Meditation
By: Liz Sykes | December 22, 2012
Just thinking about the way God chose to come to earth to begin the huge task of reconciling the world to himself. No wonder the religious leaders of the day had trouble recognising the Messiah as they expected a huge fanfare at his arrival. Not only did God not choose to announce his coming to [...]
When Jesus Came to Earth
By: Liz Sykes | December 20, 2012
It is interesting to observe that ‘in the fullness of time’ (when God had planned) Jesus humbled himself and came to earth as a baby; conceived in a miraculous way and born in unusual circumstances far from his parents’ home.

Gender Balancing Our World: Be the Change, Part 1
By: Emily Nielsen Jones | December 19, 2012
My hope is to inspire the reader to integrate their faith with a “gender lens” in what I believe is the last frontier of the women’s movement: changing the invisible, deeply entrenched thought patterns which have built up over millennia.
Jesus and John Lennon
By: Jeff Miller | December 13, 2012

Unfortunately, both bloggers have fallen prey to an elementary interpretive fallacy: The implications of a word or phrase in one culture are not necessarily [...]
Does Romans 5 Teach Male Headship?
By: Philip B. Payne | December 12, 2012
When Paul compares Adam to Christ by analogy in Romans 5, is he teaching about a husband’s authority over his wife, implied by “Adam’s federal headship,” as some Christians believe? Or is it about something else? With the analogy here, like any analogy, one must ask, “What is the point the author is making?” [...]
Signs of Friendship: The Report from the 2012 Meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society
By: Tim Krueger | December 5, 2012
CBE is not the highest profile organization at ETS, and certainly not the most popular, but after my first experience there, I am convinced that our presence makes a bigger difference than we know.
A Group of Game Changers: Australian Chapters Embolden Their Communities
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | December 5, 2012
Seeking community and empowerment, egalitarians from across Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand and beyond filled lecture halls during CBE’s 2010 Melbourne conference!
Beyond Aprons and Pickup Trucks: Sexism in the Evangelical Church
By: Heather Lundy | December 5, 2012
Tradition helps us remember where we come from and who we are as a culture. We should uphold and honor tradition—as long as we don’t begin to mistake it for truth.
