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.
Voices
By: Guest Author | September 30, 2011
As children, we are unfamiliar with our voices. We don’t always know what to say, how to carry expression, and what volume to use when talking. When I was young, adults told me that there are two kinds of voices: an “outside” and “inside” one. It was not until I was older that I [...]
Rahab the Innkeeper
By: Aliyah Jacobs | September 28, 2011
The Hebrew word zonah which describes Rahab's "occupation" was often interpreted not only as harlot, but also as an inn-keeper or tavern-keeper. This information helped enlarge my perspective on the person of Rahab, and my searching led to further study.

Words that Still Burn
By: Sarah Klatt | September 14, 2011
Crack the book that Re-rewrites history And grow new eyes to Legal injustice As a girl I watched Color decide The lines between human and not Hit me Like the whip he used on your back Your blood flowed and your screams Choked my sense Of humanity Like a millstone Around my neck Growing heavier With [...]
"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" (Proverbs 15:1, TNIV)
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | September 14, 2011
Dealing with the emotions that swirl around the gender debate in the church today can be very challenging. The discussion often touches upon beliefs that are very core to us as Christians. Few remain truly “neutral” on women’s leadership. This is exciting, but it also warrants caution and wisdom. It is exciting because people [...]
Reflections on Justice and Hope
By: Cecilia Yau | September 7, 2011
In patriarchy, not only is the misuse and abuse of power justified, it is also institutionalized. But the misuse and abuse of power is abominable to God.
