The Image of God and Sexuality
By: Guest Author | January 18, 2007
There is a very disturbing thing going on to encourage abstinence among Christian teenagers and children. It started with Purity Balls' "a memorable ceremony for daughters to pledge commitments to purity and their fathers to pledge commitments to protect their girls." I could not find the pledge the daughters make on their website, but here [...]
In the Footsteps of Joseph
By: Brandon G. Withrow | December 14, 2006
In a recent pre-Christmas sermon on Mary, it was suggested that fathers should take their sons to see the movie, The Nativity Story.

Is My Church Feminized?
By: Dorcas George | December 5, 2006
The more I considered the “buzz” about the so-called feminization of the church, the more I realized the concern was misguided. What we need are mature Christians, not manly Christians.
"Do You Hear What I Hear?" Hearing the Call to Justice in Mary's Song

The Living Language of Worship
By: Paul Westermeyer | December 5, 2006
Inclusive language—language hospitable to all people and the whole creation—has perplexed the church in our generation. Some people have radically rewritten hymn texts, some have stubbornly opposed any changes at all, and some have sought a middle ground.
Preaching in the Treble Clef
By: Penny Zettler | December 5, 2006
I don’t think my story or experience is much different from many, many other women who love Jesus and are called and gifted to preach.
Rejoicing with the Truth
By: Chelsea DeArmond | December 5, 2006
The articles in this issue of Mutuality celebrate the rich contributions that women like Jesus’ mother Mary, Sister Gertrude Morgan, and women who use their preaching gifts have made to the church’s worship
Prayer and Worship in CBE
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | December 5, 2006
Something powerful takes place when those who are called to be agents of change passionately devote themselves to prayer and worship. It’s like striking a match over logs soaked in fuel.
