By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | June 5, 2014
Egalitarians and complementarians share much in common. We adore Jesus and serve him passionately. We are committed to justice as a biblical ideal. And, we’re both devoted to Scripture as God-inspired. Though we both long to see the world embrace the gospel, we promote two distinct worldviews. What is our difference? Male-only authority. Is [...]

The professor asked for two volunteers, one male and one female, to go to the front of the room where a small table was set up. Our course was about the church’s role as reconcilers, and that day we were discussing systemic gender inequality.
Culture Isn't Everything: A call to elevate biblical truth over cultures of male domination
By: Xana McCauley | June 5, 2014
South Africa was named the rainbow nation on February 3, 1990 by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. For our country, with its nine official languages, this name is indicative of diversity as well as acceptance.

On Being a Woman After God's Own Heart: Biblical Womanhood, or Cultural Womanhood?
By: Jenny Rae Armstrong | June 5, 2014
The women’s Bible study I was attending was going through A Woman After God’s Own Heart by Elizabeth George, one of those guides to “biblical womanhood” that offered a few good insights, but mostly just made me feel guilty and inadequate about my fledgling homemaking skills. Something about the theology seemed off, but [...]

By: Gricel Medina | June 5, 2014
Much has been made of America’s dwindling church attendance numbers, but that is only part of the story. In 2013, Wesley Granberg-Michaelson of the Religion News Service reported on the role of immigrants in the American church, observing that “immigration’s overwhelming religious impact has been to inject expanding diversity and fresh vitality into the [...]

By: Dawn Gentry | June 5, 2014
What happens when the wisdom of Christ trumps worldview? What if we developed a truly kingdom-centric worldview? When Jesus was on earth, his wisdom trumped the prevailing worldview in several scenarios.
Your Worldview is Showing
By: Tim Krueger | June 5, 2014
Egalitarians suggest that just as Scripture challenges any worldview that endorses slavery or racism, it also opposes any worldview that endorses patriarchy. In response, we ought to dismantle patriarchy in the name of Jesus.

On That Night
By: Aliyah Jacobs | June 4, 2014
While the brave woman stood sharing her vision, her words were not yet cold when a young man jumped up and grabbed the microphone, he began bombastically telling the audience that he was this woman's (who was three times his age) spiritual father and that unless he prayed for her that night, she would not [...]
In a Different Image
By: Funmi Para-Mallam | May 28, 2014
No matter how much I try to ignore it, minimize or overlook it, it manages to pop out of nowhere, sometimes when and where I least expect: the persistent reminder that I am, “just a woman.” How often have I heard that phrase from some man who felt I, or some other female, was getting [...]
