Women, Helpers, and Ribs: Part 2
By: Scott Lencke | February 16, 2016
Woman is opposite to man, but not in an antagonistic, or inferior, way. Rather, she comes as the suitable one for man. Or as other translations have it, she was “fit for” man. Remember, none of the animals measured up to the ‘ezer role God had imagined for man’s great helper. It was woman [...]
More Than A Secondary Issue
By: Sarah Rose Lochelt | February 15, 2016
When the pastor referred to women’s place in the church as merely a “secondary issue,” a deep shudder hit.

From Timothy To Creation: Part 1
By: Scott Lencke | February 8, 2016
Complementarians believe they are moving from creation to Timothy, but it seems that their theology is being settled through their particular reading of Timothy and then that theological bent is being read back into the creation story. This is where they construct their understanding of the “original creation order.”
The Invisible Knapsack of Male Privilege In the Church
By: Rachel Asproth | February 8, 2016
I’ve decided to create a list of the daily effects of male privilege in the context of the church and Christian community, or the knapsack (backpack) of male privilege.
Unnecessary Crusader
By: Jerri Dyer | February 3, 2016
Many women truly think there is something wrong with them because they aren't satisfied with a limited role in the church. They sit in the pews on Sunday, but they're dying inside because they want to preach, lead, and speak out in church. But they are told that women must be silent, that they must [...]
