From Violence to Tenderness
By: José Vinces Rodríguez | September 5, 2013
I believe the church fails to oppose injustice when it bases its beliefs on incorrect, distorted, and convenient interpretations of Scripture that allow the devaluation and objectification of women.
De la violencia a la ternura
By: José Vinces Rodríguez | September 5, 2013
Seguimos fundamentando a través de una incorrecta, sesgada y hasta “convenida” interpretación bíblica estos patrones discriminadores e inequitativos, que a la postre propician una desvalorización de la mujer, relegándola hasta el plano de “cosificarla”. (Spanish)
Me Duelle Mi Corazón (My Heart Pains Me)
By: Madeline Pasch | August 28, 2013

Give us Eyes to See and Ears to Hear
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | April 17, 2013
Twenty-three years ago an economist from India, Amartya Sen, reported the largest human holocaust in all of history. His research showed that over 100 million females were missing! Though Sen was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work, few were mobilized by the horror he had uncovered. Even the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Kristoff and WuDunn [...]
The Oldest Anti-Egalitarian Crime
By: Nita Belles | April 3, 2013
A wealthy couple brought “Cathy” from China to the United States to be their nanny and housekeeper. She was paid next to nothing and was worked unmercifully day and night, as well as being physically and sexually abused by both the husband and wife. However, the husband—a Christian man—regularly exerted his “authority” as [...]
President's Message: Give us Eyes to See and Ears that Hear
