International Women's Day
By: Liz Sykes | March 8, 2008
In Australia today has been written in my diary as "Gender Awareness Day" but in many other countries it goes by the title above. We have permission to reprint this piece written by Ellen Alexander who serves the Lord in India and has been a speaker for CBE.
Epitaph (To a Woman of Noble Character)
By: Julie Amos | March 5, 2008
As we celebrate the strong and faithful examples of many women in the Bible, we also recognize that their stories have too often been left untold.
Christian Faith in Pink and Blue
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 5, 2008
Missionaries often speak of the invisibility of culture. By that they mean that most of us are not conscious of our own cultural idiosyncrasies. What is more, we are tempted to insist others adapt to our culture, because we view ours as normal and good!
Q: My Church Does Not Believe that Women Should be Elders...
By: Catherine Clark Kroeger | March 5, 2008
Q: My church does not believe that women should be elders, based on the phrase in 1 Timothy 3 that says elders must have one wife. Does this phrase really exclude women and single people from being elders? How should I approach this subject at my church?

The “Facts” About Women or The Truth About God?
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 5, 2008
While the church often continues to describe ministry (and life) in pink and blue roles, the truth is that God’s purposes for human beings far exceed narrow gender stereotypes.
"Home" Economics and the Fall
By: Carrie A. Miles | March 5, 2008
In fact, I have come to the conclusion that the kind of patriarchal worldview Jesus and Paul condemn is simply the culture of the fall.
Escaping the Mold & Embracing Giftedness
By: Sam Nguyen-Kwok, MaryAnn Nguyen-Kwok | March 5, 2008
Sam had a hard time with the concept at first. He grew up as a Southern Baptist, so the idea of a woman pastor seemed sort of heretical to him.
God’s Radical Welcome
By: Amy G. Oden | March 5, 2008
Gospel hospitality offers us a powerful experience of God’s welcome. Abraham and Sarah were both touched and changed. God has welcomed us, too, into new life, into life that is free from expectations based on cultural stereotypes and roles.
