Domestic Abuse Is Our Business: Part 2
By: Sarah Colson | November 4, 2015
I used to think that women experiencing domestic violence who really needed help should and would seek it out. But when I met Rachel, this perception of domestic abuse in intimate relationships was challenged.
Domestic Abuse Is Our Business: Part 1
By: Sarah Colson | November 3, 2015
Do you remember the day you realized that our world is a grimmer place than you once thought it was? Do you recall when you realized, for the very first time, that not everyone has food to eat every day? Can you picture the painful moment when you discovered that “prince charming” was not always [...]
How Complementarianism Stole My Identity
By: Ashley Easter | November 2, 2015
When I first left patriarchy and embraced egalitarianism, I lost myself to an identity crisis. I woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and realized I had no idea who I was. I knew who I had been, who I had wanted to be, and who I had thought I was supposed to [...]

Great Disappointment 2015
By: Patricia Conroy | October 31, 2015
For many Seventh-day Adventists (SDA), July 8, 2015, will go down in history as the Second Great Disappointment.

This time, the issue was not the return of Jesus, but the culmination [...]

By: Jeff Miller | October 31, 2015
Though this introduction will arrive in mailboxes in November, I am writing it in July. More specifically, I write as I wait in the Los Angeles airport, having spent the last few days attending the annual CBE conference. The conference was enjoyable and encouraging from beginning to end, and beyond the end as well, for [...]
Sects and Gender
By: Jennifer McKinney | October 31, 2015
Throughout American history, gender theologies have been used to signify a religious organization’s level of tension to the surrounding culture. As a result, religious organizations have changed their gender theologies in response to cultural change. This process can be illustrated by a tale of two Baptists. Invigorated by the First Great Awakening of the 1740 [...]

In his book, Dignity and Destiny: Humanity in the Image of God, bioethicist John F. Kilner sketches the theological history of the image of God, critiques prominent viewpoints from this sketch, and offers a robust formulation of what it means to be in God’s image. Since the understanding of this theological doctrine has both [...]
Book Review: Malestrom: Manhood Swept into the Currents of a Changing World
By: Vicki Scheib | October 31, 2015
After years of leading an identity formation group for women, I was asked to create a similar process for men. While developing the curriculum, I was hard-pressed to find material that was not complementarian, or that did not rely heavily on archetypal models to frame a man’s identity. Because I wanted the curriculum to [...]
