Women Leaders
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | June 10, 2009
Recently I heard someone say that while they support women in leadership, ultimately all final authority should be male.

By: Joanna K.B. Stanberry | June 5, 2009
The gender equity component of the community’s development efforts came up repeatedly in my interviews and conversations. “Could it be possible,” I began to think, “that by modeling and empowering a community of equity, justice, and liberating education, such practice becomes modeled and reproduced continually?”
Breaking Up the Good Old Boys' Club
By: J. Lee Grady | June 5, 2009

Eyes to See and Ears to Hear
By: Megan Greulich | June 5, 2009

Scripture Affirms Women's Leadership in All Spheres
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | June 5, 2009
But for those of us steeped in the history of early egalitarians, the political prominence women enjoy today can be understood as a direct extension of the gains earned for women by early evangelicals and their biblical support for women’s suffrage.
Born to Lead; Born to Equip
By: Matthew McKirland, Christa L. McKirland | June 5, 2009
The point of marriage is not simply our own happiness, but that happiness is a by-product of pursuing what God has called us to do for the sake of his kingdom.
Who Are the Women Prophets in the Bible?
By: John DelHousaye | June 5, 2009
Scripture explains the enduring presence of women prophets as clearly as church history explains their marginalization. Here is some of the biblical evidence.
Revisiting "The Shack"
By: Trevor Sykes | June 4, 2009
I know it is some time since this book, written by William P. Young and published in 2007, was in the public gaze of the Christian community but I have only just read it. I find myself in agreement with the comment by Eugene Peterson, "This book has the potential to do for our generation what [...]
