Love Builds Up
By: Megan Greulich | April 18, 2012
“But 1 Corinthians 14 says that women should be silent in churches…right?” It was a shy question from a high school student, in the middle of a church fundraising supper. I had been chatting with this student and his family, and his father mentioned how the Bible passage had come up in discussion at their [...]
The Fear Factor
By: Liz Sykes | April 17, 2012
Recently I read on another blog that the writer had not read anything about helping people face the fear of moving from a complementarian position to that of an egalitarian. Maybe this is true for many of our readers so we would like to give opportunity for folks to write here of their struggle and [...]
"Is this not the Messiah?"
By: Guest Author | April 13, 2012
Of all the literature produced by the early Syrian church, the most prized was composed by Ephrem the Syrian, often called "The Harp of the Holy Spirit". One of his hymns memorialises the faith of the Samaritan woman whom Jesus met at the well and sent forth as a missionary (see John 4)
Easter Morning
By: Jeff Miller | April 6, 2012
Easter brings to the egalitarian mind the fact that women were the first evangelists to proclaim the risen Lord. One of the gospel accounts attesting to this historical fact is Luke 24.
Easter Has Changed Everything!
By: CBE International | April 4, 2012
Do you find your daily Bible reading and chat with God one of the great comforts in life? Does their routine and predictability contribute to their consoling quality? Yet, are there occasions when God’s presence pierces through, disturbing the quiet in a startling way? The ancients called such moments “thin places” because the veil [...]
Anglican Priest: Li Tim-Oi
By: Mariel Mastrostefano | March 28, 2012
Sometimes the Lord calls someone to serve even before the world is ready to accept their service. One example of this was God’s call for the Gentile Cornelius to be baptized, which Peter was unprepared to accept at first (Acts 10). God’s call to Florence Li Tim-Oi to be an Anglican priest was another [...]
Courage: Masculine, Feminine or Neither?
By: Guest Author | March 28, 2012
Recently both egalitarians and complementarians have been having conversations centred around the ‘masculinity’ and/or the ‘femininity’ of God. Remarks by respected theologian John Piper and the movie “Courageous” have helped fuel both sides of the discussion. My purpose here is not to further comment on John Piper’s remarks (which I have read) or [...]
Prison Reformer: Elizabeth Fry
By: Mariel Mastrostefano | March 21, 2012
The nineteenth century was filled with injustices caused by industrialization. People flooded cities looking for work, and crime became rampant. Prison systems focused on punishing criminals, not on reforming their lives. Innocent children followed their parents to the prisons, and lived in squalor. The conditions of one facility in particular—Newgate Prison—inspired a visionary woman named [...]
More Than One Way
By: Liz Sykes | March 21, 2012
While there is only one way to peace with God and eternal life, and that way is Jesus, there are many ways in which people come to be enlightened about God's heart for his creation in mutuality.
Courageous Resistance: Marie Durand
By: Mariel Mastrostefano | March 14, 2012
When Martin Luther published his 95 theses, everything in Europe changed. Traditionally, the Reformation is discussed in terms of key male figures such as Martin Luther and John Calvin. Often, the role women played in the Reformation is overlooked even though their lives were deeply affected by the events around them. Some royal women supported [...]
