Beauty We Should Crave
By: Jenny Dunham | November 17, 2010
People seem to be obsessed with beauty in all the wrong ways. I easily find beauty in nature—in sunrises, changing leaves, and rain. Most people can see beauty in that. Yet when it comes to ourselves or other human beings we are ready to give harsh critique. I wonder why we do this especially [...]
Real Authority
By: Guest Author | November 13, 2010
Authority, the dictionary tells me, means several things: for one, the power to enforce obedience. In practical affairs, we often think of it as the right to tell others what to do. Wouldn’t you think that if anyone has that right, it would be those who know the law best? One would suppose that [...]
An Unsuspecting Preacher
By: T. Scott Womble | November 10, 2010
As a whole, the church seems to have an inadequate theology on preaching. Preaching, we’re implicitly told, is standing behind a pulpit and delivering a three point, thirty minute sermon. All three features (location, methodology, and time) seem to be rather important in defining when a person actually preaches. Thus, when a woman stands [...]
Have You Ever Seen a Lassie?
By: JoAnn Streeter Shade | November 3, 2010
The Salvation Army in New York City recently celebrated the 125th anniversary of the opening of the work in that great city. It was quite a party and gave witness to the faithfulness of God in powerful ways. But it raised again an issue that has troubled me for a number of years: Why do [...]
I Have This Dream
By: Liz Sykes | November 2, 2010
I HAVE THIS DREAM……… of little children being free to explore their world without the voices telling them that ‘little boys do/don't do this’ and ‘little girls do/don't do that’ of little boys being free to enjoy crafts and quiet pursuits without being called ‘sissies’
I am Saint Apphia
By: Joe Lunceford | October 27, 2010
You are probably among the masses of people who have never heard my name. It is mentioned in only one sentence in Holy Writ. There were only a very few of us—at least of those whose story was remembered by any except family and close friends. For those few who have read Paul’s [...]
Reverse Sexism
By: H. Edgar Hix | October 23, 2010
A man has to be twice as good a parent as a woman to get child custody. Fortunately, this isn’t difficult.Ouch. Blatantly sexist. A woman has to be twice as good as a man to get the same job. Fortunately, this isn’t difficult. Ouch. Popular coffee cup.
Is Women's Leadership in the Church a "Primary Issue"?
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | October 20, 2010
If you’ve been a passionate egalitarian for any length of time, you’ve probably heard someone say, “Yes, the egalitarian position is biblically sound, but it is not a ‘primary issue!'” What is at the heart of such a comment? Primary issues are generally understood to mean those that focus on the gospel, evangelism, and the [...]
"Wild-Hearted" Daughters
By: Caryn Rivadeneira | October 13, 2010
If you read the GFL e-newsletter, you may recall my mention of a certain giddiness when I saw an ad for a one-day conference about “Women and Christian History” being held right in my neighborhood. Well, this past weekend, I went.Some highlights for me included seeing archaeological evidence of women priests, deacons, and elders [...]
