By: Angela Hurst | April 26, 2017
I read Sarah Bessey’s recent thread #ThingsOnlyChristianWomenHear with fascination. As I perused the comments, I was both amused by the absurdity of it all and grieved by the negative impact these sexist statements have on the community of God.

Does Scripture Subjugate Women Or Do We?
By: Amy R. Buckley | April 6, 2017
