All Truth is God's Truth
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | November 14, 2007
Very often the questions asked by those struggling with the gender issue are quite profound. For example, after leading a workshop at the last Urbana Missions Conference, a graduate student from Harvard told me, "If the Bible really teaches that all women must be submissive to males, and men will be the final arbiters of [...]
A Bad Tree Cannot Produce Good Fruit
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | November 7, 2007
How many of us have become passionate and informed egalitarians as we observed the challenges godly women faced as they tried to use their God-given gifts in the church? Their pain inspired those close to them to reexamine their own perspectives on the gender issue. And, in doing so, many discovered that the arguments used [...]
Guy "Secrets" Revealed? Mixed Messages for Teenagers in 'For Young Women Only'
By: Megan Greulich | October 31, 2007
Imagine yourself a teenage girl, strolling through your local Christian book store, when a small book that sounds too good to be true catches your eye. Someone actually wrote a book that claims to expose the workings of teenage guys? “It’s the inside scoop you’ve been waiting for! You’ll come to not [...]
"What Counts is the New Creation"
By: Will Rettig | October 31, 2007
Mimi wrote in Arise last week that baptism rather than circumcision had, in Christ, become the expression of a covenantal relationship with God and life. She pointed out that “just as Christ rose victoriously over sin, we too rise out of the waters of baptism, symbolizing our rising victorious with Christ over sin.” What I [...]
Baptism in Christ
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | October 24, 2007
Recently a friend of mine received a very distinguished award from her denomination for her long-term leadership in promoting the “maximum baptismal role of women in the Church.” As I pondered our baptismal role, I remembered that many baptismal fonts from the early church had Galatians 3:26-28 inscribed on them. Why?
Memories of My Father
By: JL P | October 23, 2007
Some, complementarian or otherwise, may believe that we egalitarians don’t love our fathers. Well, I loved my father. I want to share some memories of my father to show why I loved him so much.
A Simple Word of Thanks
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | October 17, 2007
So many of you have thanked us for our weekly newsletter, Arise. In fact, almost every week we receive comments from the CBE community expressing appreciation for our work! Do you realize how rare it is to receive so many words of thanks? Research suggests that very few people actually take the time to thank [...]
Female Traffic Lights
By: MaryAnn Nguyen-Kwok | October 17, 2007
My husband recently sent me a link to an news blurb about new traffic signal laws which were passed last year in Spain. In an effort to do away with sexism, the Spanish town council of Madrid decreed that half of all road signs and traffic signals should alternate between male and female walking figures. [...]
Pleasing Each Other
By: Liz Sykes | October 16, 2007
Several places in the New Testament, had ‘headship’ been God's intention, it would have been stated and described. Rather, in those places we find no such direct statement and, in fact, other descriptions of marriage indicating full equality.
A Difficult Model
By: Will Rettig | October 10, 2007
Lately I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what empowerment for Christian service in the church and world means in light of the model Christ has provided us with. Suffice it to say, it’s a challenge. There is nothing assertive or upwardly mobile about God putting on flesh and serving, then dying [...]
