Egalitarian Journey
By: J. Dwayne Howell | August 29, 2012
Life experiences affect our understanding of the world around us. As it pertains to egalitarian views, they are a part of my growing up experience. I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s in Shively, Kentucky, a suburb of Louisville. Raised in a Christian home, church was a natural part of my life. I knew [...]
Radio Interview
By: Trevor Sykes | August 25, 2012
I recently heard a radio interview which intrigued me. It was with Dr. Geoffrey Burnstock, an Australian Neuro Scientist. In the year 2000 he was awarded the Royal Medal (also known as the Queen's Medal, which was commenced in 1826) for his research into neurotransmission pathways. To cite the actual wording of the award: "In recognition of [...]
Breaking the Rules
By: Susan Harris Howell | August 22, 2012
One female student parked in the lot of a local department store, opened the hood, and began looking for “the problem.” She assured each would-be helper that while she appreciated their offers she had it under control. Most believed her; one argued the point.
Help Needed!
By: Guest Author | August 17, 2012
I was recently handed a worksheet being used by a well respected marriage counselor in our area. It identified 5 types of troubled marriages and listed characteristics of each as talking points to help couples in crisis identify and address specific failings in their own marriages. The first 4 types dealt with communication, physical intimacy, conflicting values, [...]
Notes from a Kenyan Diary
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | August 15, 2012
Holding the fruit carried from his adventures, Caleb said, “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit” (Num. 13: 27). Like Caleb, we too celebrate the fruit carried home from our conference, “Equal to Serve,” in Kenya as over 20 lectures exposed how patriarchy [...]
One in Christ Jesus
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | August 8, 2012
Jesus said, that if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to the largest of mountains, “Move from here to there, and it will move!” (Matt. 17:20) God used mustard seed faith to build an African egalitarian movement. It began like this…
All Those in Every Place
By: Jeff Miller | August 8, 2012
Perhaps, like me, you've been asked, "If you could give someone only one argument for egalitarianism, what would it be?" Perhaps, like me, you don't like that question because the answer differs depending on the audience. I know people who would respond best to an appeal to theology, focusing on the loving and freeing character [...]
An Ethos of Mutuality
By: Tim Krueger | August 1, 2012
Christianity ought to model an alternative to the world’s obsession with self. Yet, the male-only leadership of many churches and Christian homes does the opposite, providing a breeding ground for these very same problems.
Seeking Help
By: Susan Harris Howell | August 1, 2012
I’ve heard that men won’t ask for directions. I don’t know if this is true or merely a stereotype of the male gender. On the one hand, asking for help in general is often seen as an indicator of weakness so might be avoided in a society that holds men to a [...]
Habituation: Blindness to the Familiar
By: Susan Harris Howell | July 25, 2012
I sat in a sociology class listening to the professor talk about the discrimination women in other cultures experience, how they are often deprived of the same privileges as men at home and in the world of work. She spoke of gendered expectations that lead women and men down different paths toward different goals. She [...]
