By: Cynthia Mitchell | June 5, 2010
Several years ago, I began to have gnawing questions about the biblical accuracy of the doctrine of female submission. The questions simply would not abate until I studied the issue for myself.
Poor Christians
By: H. Edgar Hix | June 5, 2010
I have worked in Legal Aid offices for some 15 years. I can tell you that many poor are not the kind of people most of us associate with. They tend to be undereducated, unorganized, and often buried under their financial burdens. Many come from longer generations of poverty. Many are weak and do not present [...]
What Makes a Man Masculine in God’s Eyes?
By: William David Spencer | June 5, 2010
God’s ideal men and women take their faith seriously, seek out the Bible’s righteous models, and know how to employ authority and to submit to authority according to gifts and tasks.
Moving Out of Captivity
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | June 2, 2010
If you’re looking for a powerful film to watch this summer, consider Iron Jawed Angels, a dramatization of the American suffragist Alice Paul (1885-1977). Her legacy is one of a kind.

Sometimes we hear Christian jargon batted about so much that we lose our grasp of what is meant by the terms. Because words like servant and servanthood have been used so much, I've chosen to use different ones.

Dr. Pamela Erwin of Bethel University has recently been appointed as department chair for biblical and theological studies. Currently a youth ministry professor, Pamela has been teaching for 15 years. This news, Mimi Haddad notes, is encouraging to us all: “Pamela’s leadership is one we’ve always regarded with much enthusiasm and appreciation.” During an interview [...]
Three Arguments
By: Jeff Gissing | May 14, 2010
One of the instruments God used to convince me that holding office in the church ought to follow calling rather than gender was an article written when I was four years old. I’m grateful for the pastor who gave me a copy of John Jefferson Davis’s insightful piece entitled, “Ordination of Women Reconsidered: [...]
Deep Justice and Gender
By: Mae Elise Cannon | May 12, 2010
While women continue to be paid less than their male counterparts in equivalent roles in the workplace, my understanding is that in the United States conditions are now improving and women are given equal (if not favorable) opportunities to progress up the corporate ladder. A close friend of mine is an executive in the banking [...]
Needed: Socially Innovative Women
By: Catherine Clark Kroeger | May 5, 2010
How often women lament that their lives were blocked from answering God's call to ministry. So many obstructions were put in their way because of their gender. They could not receive theological education, ordination, or employment in a church setting, and many have experienced a lifelong heartbreak that they were not permitted to fulfill the [...]
