Missions and Gender
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | April 23, 2008
Some of the most powerful words in all of Scripture directed the evangelism of women. As they discovered the empty tomb on Easter, Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and other women heard the most important words in all of history: “…he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still [...]
The Value of Reason
By: Trevor Sykes | April 22, 2008
So often those of us who would consider it legitimate to interpret Scripture with due consideration being given to the historical culture and context, especially in the issues relating to Biblical equality, are accused of not being true to the literal text. By posing such questions of the text we are said to be resorting [...]
The Blossoming of New Life
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | April 16, 2008
Is spring your favorite season? If you live in a cold climate any hint of warm weather, longer days, and the return of flowers and birds is cause for rejoicing! Regardless of where you live, spring is a season of encouragement. We are encouraged by Easter celebrations in spring, reminding us that in our Risen [...]
"Properly Scared"
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | April 9, 2008
Do you experience physical discomfort when facing conflict? Would you prefer a visit to the dentist to an argument? If so, then you’re entirely normal. In fact, you’re in the majority!

The Blessing of the Parachurch
By: Ashleigh Bailey | April 4, 2008
I was shocked. I remembered the old Bryan*, the Bryan that put on the brakes during a discussion of Large Group speakers at our Coordinating Team planning retreat. “Why is it suddenly illegal to bring in white men?” he asked, frustrated. As Multi-Ethnicity Team Leader on our exec, I was pushing hard for more female [...]
Better to Receive than to Give?
By: Ashleigh Bailey | April 4, 2008
One of my most trying journeys during college has been learning to give others grace: to forgive my roommate, to be patient with other white people’s ethnic journeys, to stop calling myself “an evangelical that doesn’t like other evangelicals.” One of the areas I still struggle with is in giving grace to women [...]
Speak Out!
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | April 2, 2008
Have you ever heard a speaker who explains something that has perplexed you for years? Perhaps it may be something as simple as how to cook eggplant or how to understand new tax laws. Or perhaps it may be something as crucial as why violent crimes are perpetrated against women. This weekend, I was privileged [...]
Book Review: Saving Women from the Church
By: Guest Author | March 31, 2008
This book starts with the premise that women are made in the image of God and called to build God's kingdom. Then it deals chapter-by-chapter with the destructive myths that have prevailed in evangelical culture to keep women as second-class citizens and powerless in the pews
When Does Masculine-Only Language Apply to Both Genders?
By: JL P | March 27, 2008
The following is from the second paragraph of the United States' Declaration of Independence.We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments [...]
A Broken Body
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 26, 2008
If you were to pinpoint the most discouraging aspect related to the gender discussion in the churches today, what might that be? For many CBE members the real challenge is an inconsistent interpretation of Scripture that suppresses the gifts God gives women for evangelism and missions. For some, the notion that women are equal to [...]
