What Can One Church Do?
By: Anne O. Weatherholt | October 17, 2012
“Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth…” This prayer challenges us to live into the gospel and make it real for our own day.

I Can Win On My Own
By: H. Edgar Hix | October 12, 2012
I was in a store a few weeks ago and saw a t-shirt for a tween girl. It read, “Who needs boys? I can win on my own.”This hit a hot button of mine: reverse sexism. “Shades of a trophy bride,” I thought. “This is how you want your girls to see boys: as [...]

When the words or attitude disrespect or devalue the other person. Both men and women can be verbal abusers. Verbal abuse in an intimate relationship most often [...]
A Move Toward Egalitarian Decision Making
By: Susan Harris Howell | October 2, 2012
When I was growing up, families came and went from our community based on where the husband found employment. I don’t know of anyone who moved because the wife had a new job or promotion. I always assumed it would be the same for me: I’d marry someone, and we would settle in [...]
Domestic Violence Awareness

On the 25th of August, the Sydney Morning Herald reported that, “BRIDES will be promising to submit to their husbands under a new marriage vow the Anglican diocese of Sydney is expected to approve at its synod in October.” That this report, which features a video of a married couple from the Sydney Anglican Church, should make front page [...]
