The Blessing of the Parachurch
By: Ashleigh Bailey | April 4, 2008
I was shocked. I remembered the old Bryan*, the Bryan that put on the brakes during a discussion of Large Group speakers at our Coordinating Team planning retreat. “Why is it suddenly illegal to bring in white men?” he asked, frustrated. As Multi-Ethnicity Team Leader on our exec, I was pushing hard for more female [...]
Better to Receive than to Give?
By: Ashleigh Bailey | April 4, 2008
One of my most trying journeys during college has been learning to give others grace: to forgive my roommate, to be patient with other white people’s ethnic journeys, to stop calling myself “an evangelical that doesn’t like other evangelicals.” One of the areas I still struggle with is in giving grace to women [...]
Speak Out!
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | April 2, 2008
Have you ever heard a speaker who explains something that has perplexed you for years? Perhaps it may be something as simple as how to cook eggplant or how to understand new tax laws.

A Broken Body
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 26, 2008
If you were to pinpoint the most discouraging aspect related to the gender discussion in the churches today, what might that be? For many CBE members the real challenge is an inconsistent interpretation of Scripture that suppresses the gifts God gives women for evangelism and missions. For some, the notion that women are equal to [...]
Christ is Risen!
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 19, 2008
Have you ever been so discouraged you wondered if God had abandoned you? Have your problems ever mounted so quickly that you questioned God’s faithfulness and power to save you? I imagine Christ’s disciples must have felt that way as they watched the Romans crucify Jesus. How confusing it must have been to [...]

Reasoning Together
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 12, 2008
