Feminization of the Church (Part 1)
By: Lisa Baumert | July 14, 2010
Kindness, gentleness, love, peace, joy. Would you be more likely to describe these character traits as “masculine” or “feminine”? If you answered “feminine,” you would not be alone—but you would be wrong. These are human traits—neither exclusively feminine nor masculine. Yet, our society and the church seem overly comfortable associating these attributes as feminine. When is the [...]
Willing to Help
By: Guest Author | July 8, 2010
You know, of course, the story of The Little Red Hen and her friends—a duck, a cat and a pig (or a goose and dog and whatever animal your favorite version has). The Little Red Hen found a grain of wheat and, deciding to plant it, she asked who would help.
Saved Through Childbearing
By: Jon Zens | July 7, 2010
Certainly one of the most puzzling remarks in Paul’s writings is found in 1 Timothy 2:15, “But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety” (TNIV). This verse has spawned a host of widely divergent interpretations.
"Such" vs. "Other"
By: Jeff Miller | June 30, 2010

CBE "Down Under" (Part 2)
By: Liz and Trevor Sykes | June 23, 2010
In this Australian conference there has been a strong emphasis on justice issues, both locally and on the world scene. The organizers of this weekend were determined that the subject matter would be far broader than just the ordination of women. The perception is often expressed that because there are now many ordained women in [...]

In twenty-seven brief, funny, and reflective chapters discover why God really gave us bodies and what we can do with them to serve him and others. Jump out of that suffocating mold and discover what your body is really for.
CBE "Down Under" (Part 1)
By: Liz and Trevor Sykes | June 16, 2010
We arrived at the Jasper Hotel in downtown Melbourne at midday on Friday, and found that already the organizing committee was hard at work preparing to receive those who would come early to register for the first CBE conference in Australia. This was the culmination of a year’s hard work by a dedicated group [...]

Renewal in Christ
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | June 9, 2010
As noted in last week's article, we are now at a new crossroads of understanding. Male and female's shared dominion over creation was God's original design. The fall, however, distorted the shared stewardship of the earth which men and women were called to as part of the divine mandate. But, the gift we have in [...]
Rational and Emotional Faith
By: Megan Greulich | June 5, 2010
Shiphrah and Puah are two of the many, many biblical examples of women who acted bravely and rationally, contrary to the popular stereotype that women are emotional beings (and men are not).
