February Isn't Enough: The Historical Erasure of Black Women
By: Rachel Asproth | February 13, 2017

St. Luke tells us that the women who followed Jesus to the cross “were beating their breasts and wailing for him” (Luke 23:27 NRSV).

The recent election has prompted significant reflection for many evangelicals, including notable contributions from Christianity Today managing editor Katelyn Beaty[1], Fuller president Mark Labberton and Fuller president emeritus Richard Mouw[2], and Northeastern assistant professor of New Testament Esau McCaulley[3], who writes about being black, evangelical, and an Anglican priest.

Women make up 19% of active duty service members in the Air Force. I’m a chaplain in the Air Force Reserves, and the numbers in my career field are even lower. The last statistics I saw reflected fewer than twenty female chaplains in the Reserves, out of about two hundred.
When Momma Speaks: The Bible and Motherhood from A Womanist Perspective
By: Stephanie Buckhanon Crowder | September 2, 2016

I believe that so-called “biblical” teaching that promotes hegemonic white, Western masculinity and accompanying gender roles in marriage is a major factor (in addition to the usual suspects—sex and money) contributing to the divorce rate among black Christians.
