Job — A Limited Understanding of Pain
By: Kate Wallace Nunneley | January 29, 2014
On a very small scale, I identified with the loss that Job had gone through. I struggled through questions similar to his, and I tried to build my faith on the wisdom from that book. By the grace of God my father lived, but we still mourned the loss of my grandfather. Job 1:21 was my [...]
Brothers, I am Sorry
By: Sarah Schwartz | January 26, 2014
As a woman who lives, works, and studies in conservative Christian circles, I feel like I spend most days running around trying to convince people that I am a full human being. A person with gifts and dreams and stories, an image-bearer of God who has a call on her life just as wild and [...]
If the Spirit Calls
By: Naomi Krueger | January 23, 2014
It’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately—the role of the Holy Spirit in the gender debate. Have we forgotten this member of the Trinity? Perhaps if we were really, truly in tune with the Holy Spirit, letting the Spirit guide our lives and our ministry, we would not argue about [...]
Identity in Creation and Christ (Part 4)
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | January 22, 2014
Women advanced the gospel by ministering beside Paul, building the church as teachers, evangelists, prophets and as an apostle—Junia. Paul offers the theological foundations for the shared authority of women with all of its spiritual and social implications, throughout his epistles.
Our Heritage — Part 3
By: Liz Sykes | January 21, 2014
Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 10 says “Work hard at whatever you do” and the person featured in this post was perhaps the hardest working woman of her time. Amanda Smith was born into slavery in Maryland on January 23rd 1837 and her father, Samuel Berry worked tirelessly to free his children.
Our Heritage — Part 2

Women are as tough as nails when it comes to working for Christ as George Fox realised when he began the Quaker movement in the 1600s. From the beginning, he welcomed women preachers. His first convert was a well-to-do middle-aged mother named Elizabeth Hooton from Nottingham England. She soon became the Quakers’ first woman preacher.
Our Heritage — Part 1

Perhaps you have not heard of Nettie McCormick who in 1884 became a very wealthy widow who wanted to use her inheritance to further the work of the gospel.
Identity in Creation and Christ (Part 3)
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | January 15, 2014
Christ engaged women theologically, expecting them to respond not as a distinct class, but as people, as disciples, and as heirs of God’s kingdom. In Jesus, the second Adam, women share a spiritual dominion, just as Eve was created for equal authority and dominion with the first Adam in the Garden.
Gender Equality in Second Clement
By: Margaret Mowczko | January 13, 2014
I am reading through The Apostolic Fathers at the moment, a collection of Christian writings which date roughly from the late 1st century to the middle of the second century. One of the books in this collection is called Second Clement. Second Clement is a sermon in the form of a letter. Dated [...]
Harriet Beecher Stowe: A Spiritual Life
By: Nancy Koester | January 13, 2014
Most writing about Harriet Beecher Stowe treats her as a literary figure and social reformer while downplaying her Christian faith. But Nancy Koester's biography highlights Stowe’s faith as central to her life-both her public fight against slavery and her own personal struggle through deep grief to find a gracious God.
