Looking Backwards Before Moving Forwards
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | December 31, 2008
As we approach the New Year, perhaps you have found time to reflect upon God’s work in your life, to discern how God might be leading you in the coming year? If so, then you share in an important tradition that began with our Lord, whose life was marked by times of solitude, intimacy, [...]
The Value of Stories
By: Liz Sykes | December 26, 2008
In years gone by, no publisher would print a book written by a woman and so women writers had to use pseudonyms to get their work recognised. Even today, there is the persistent thought that women are mostly suitable for writing about things which pertain to the home and children.
Mary, the Mother of Jesus
By: Alvera Mickelsen | December 24, 2008
At Christmas, we think a lot about the birth of our Lord Jesus. Protestants don’t give much attention to the woman who carried him in her womb and bore disgrace as one conceiving a child out of wedlock. Yet, perhaps we should!
An Egalitarian Mega Church?
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | December 17, 2008
When we think of mega churches, very often we imagine large evangelical congregations—numbering in the thousands, located in the United States. But, do you realize that five of the ten largest mega churches are located in South Korea?! According to last year’s research by the Economist, the Yoido Full Gospel Church claims 830,000 members, [...]
Lessons from the Blue Parakeet
By: Ashleigh Bailey | December 16, 2008
When most of us egalitarians have a friend with questions about women in ministry, we offer them one of a few classic books. We give them Gilbert Bilizekian's Beyond Sex Roles or one of the multi-views books published by InterVarsity Press or Zondervan or perhaps (if we're really creative!) refer them to an article on [...]
Women in Missions
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | December 10, 2008
Do you have family or friends on the mission field who are women? How many of them preach, teach, and exercise their gifts of leadership beside men on the mission field? Yet, many of the churches that send these women to the mission field do not provide opportunities for them to preach, teach, or exercise [...]
The Power of Words
By: Liz Sykes | December 7, 2008
I have just been browsing a website which promotes roles for women and men as God's ordained will for all time. It showed again the enormous power of words to create impressions and convince people of a point of view. History shows that many strong people convinced others that what they promoted was the 'truth' [...]
Patriarchy, Rape, and Heroism
By: Steven R. Tracy | December 5, 2008
A group of colleagues and I first traveled to the Congo in 2007 to conduct conferences on abuse. We were shocked at the extent of patriarchy and resultant mistreatment of women.
When God Orchestrated the Impossible
By: Megan Greulich | December 5, 2008
I sometimes wonder what that moment felt like for Peter, when he realized God had literally obliterated the divisions of the past. It was a moment when he understood that Christ’s sacrifice through the cross not only reached up to God but also out to all of humanity.
Masculinity Redeemed: Servanthood, Not Power, Reflects the Example of Jesus
By: Jon Trott | December 5, 2008
Christ leads, and we both follow. When my darling says to me, “I think God may want us to…” I am all ears.
