Sister Gertrude Morgan's Record

Sister Gertrude Morgan’s record reveals her single-minded commitment to worship. Her artwork and music were saturated with images and words from Scripture.
Mystery - A Defense of Mutual Submission within Marriage
By: Trevor Sykes | November 17, 2006
In that classic Bible passage on marriage (Eph. 5:21-33) so often used, or alluded to in the marriage ceremony, the narrative closes with the admonition, "this is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the Church are one." (vs. 32 NLB) The mystery would appear to be, from the preceding [...]
What Married Women Want (Not This One)
By: Guest Author | November 14, 2006
Brad Wilcox is at it again. Chrisitanity Today interviewed him regarding his new sociological study, "What's Love Got to Do with It? Equality, Equity, Commitment, and Women's Marital Quality." First as Megan O'Rourke points out in her article on Salon "this study is based on surveys done between 1992 and 1994." Of course he found that women [...]
Created in God's image
By: Liz Sykes | November 10, 2006
The Bible records that humans were made in God's image and however we try to describe what that "looks" like, there can only be one image. God is not fragmented or divided into two "equal but different" parts. God is one God and we have been created to be like God. This surely is a [...]
Does it Really Mean "Helpmate"?
By: Guest Author | November 1, 2006
I was working on my thesis in seminary. Tired of being asked if I was going to seminary to be a pastor's wife, I had decided to write a biblical theology of single women in ministry that would show God's calling for a woman was not dependent on her marital state. I was talking with [...]
Face to Face in the Gender Wars
By: Brandon G. Withrow | October 25, 2006
A few weeks back I was teaching a class on Anabaptist history. I gave my usual spiel about the nature of history and the problems with reductionism. Anabaptist concerns were both theological and economical (among other things); cases of injustice, after all, traverse all aspects of life. Abuses by the church and its oppression of [...]
"Set Apart," But is it by Fear?
By: Megan Greulich | September 29, 2006
A prominent sociologist on evangelicals, Sally Gallagher, has much to say to egalitarians in her article, The Marginalization of Evangelical Feminism. She questions, when 56% of evangelical women are employed outside the home and when many evangelical marriages are egalitarian in practice, why evangelicals as a whole have still rejected mutuality and partnership between the genders.
The Spiritual June Cleaver
By: Guest Author | September 16, 2006
Salon has an article on Mark Driscoll's Mars Hill Church. I was so sad after reading this article. In short they've taken the post-WW2 culture, and they are trying to make it biblical.Following Driscoll's biblical reading of prescribed gender roles, women quit their jobs and try to have as many babies as possible. And [...]
Gender as a Weapon
By: Guest Author | September 15, 2006
Two weeks ago, the story of Mary Lambert became major national news. The audacity of firing an older woman from her long held position as Sunday school teacher based on her gender angered many. Since the initial report, the church and the pastor have tried to give a fuller picture of the situation. Conflict between [...]
The Importance of History
By: Guest Author | September 13, 2006
I've been reading the recent issue of Priscilla Papers (Summer 2006). I have been struck by both Catherine Clark Kroeger and Philip B. Bayne's use of history in their respective articles on 1 Corinthians 11. In Kroeger's article she is looking at what kephalē, "head," means in 1 Corinthians 11:3: "But I want you to understand that Christ is the [...]
