Paradox of Faith
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | November 9, 2011
Have you ever wondered why the Bible remains a best-seller? After all, the teachings of Scripture can be downright unappealing. This is never more the case than in the words and deeds of Jesus. The gospels, for example, make it clear that each human being, regardless of their upbringing, accomplishments, or fine intentions is spiritually [...]
Worship: Whose Heart?
By: Guest Author | November 7, 2011
I wasn't trying to make a statement on gender or gender roles in the church. Wasn't, wasn't wasn't. I just misheard the worship leader's instructions.
God Meets Needs
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | November 2, 2011
If you were connected with CBE around this time last year, you may remember Give to the Max Day (GTMD), a fundraising campaign for Minnesota-based nonprofits sponsored by GiveMN.org. Last year, we made it our goal to raise enough money for a full-time staff member—and we nearly did it! With over $24,000 God gave us [...]
The Culpability of the Church—When Silence is not "Golden"
By: Anne O. Weatherholt | October 26, 2011
One out of every three persons sitting in the pews or chairs in your church on Sunday morning is or has been a victim of domestic violence or knows someone who is currently facing violence. But despite this, domestic violence is one of the greatest sins we never talk about in church. Those who are [...]
An Egalitarian Examination of "Courageous" the Movie
By: Megan Greulich | October 23, 2011
(Movie spoiler alert!)First off, Courageous (the most recent movie release from Sherwood Baptist Church, the makers of Fireproof) is far from a terrible movie. There are very funny scenes. The characters wrestle with real life struggles. It resists the hyper-sexualization of females that runs rampant in Hollywood movies. It touts important values like integrity, [...]
Glimpsing Eve
By: Emily Nielsen Jones | October 19, 2011
This year, as I have traveled around the globe, I have also traveled within the female psyche—my own and that of others who have let me in. What is most on my mind, as I reflect on these travels, is the wounded but beautiful face of Eve.
A Protestant-Specific Argument for Egalitarianism
By: David C. Cramer | October 15, 2011
I believe that it is inconsistent for one to be a strong complementarian and a Protestant at the same time. Complementarians often hold that, though women can be involved in various forms of ministry, they cannot become "ordained ministers." But consider the following simple argument:
The Incompatibility of Patriarchy and Servant Leadership
By: Vaun Swanson | October 12, 2011
Pictures of a battered and bruised Taylor Armstrong (star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills) are circulating in the media, once again demonstrating that wealth, beauty, and celebrity are no match for male domination. What do Armstrong and women around the world have in common? They have all suffered the negative impact of patriarchy in [...]
Exciting News
By: Jenny Rae Armstrong | October 10, 2011
On Friday, three women were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their commitment to women’s rights. Two of those women, President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and Leymah Gbowee, were from Liberia, the country I called home for most of my elementary school years.
A Matter of Justice: My Journey Toward Gender Equality
By: Lance Robinson | October 5, 2011
I began to struggle with my "soft" complementarianism. It seemed that no matter how I tried to slice it, spin it, or soften it; at the end of the day, however much the gap was minimized, women remained inferior to men.
