Julian of Norwich
By: Anne Clift Boris | January 30, 2008
One of my spiritual mentors is a woman who lived six hundred years ago: Julian of Norwich. I admire her for the clarity of her descriptions of spiritual experience, her balanced and orthodox presentation of God as mother, and the divine comfort of her vision of our sin and redemption.
Renunciation
By: Jennifer Stewart Fueston | January 30, 2008
Could Mary have refused, when it was offered her,
Jeanne D'Arc
By: Jennifer Stewart Fueston | January 30, 2008
As with Mary, it was the sound of angel wings that broke the silence.
God is at Work
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | January 30, 2008
Three retired women volunteered at CBE’s office recently. As they worked, they reminisced about their youth—a time when hearing from a female evangelist was not that uncommon! In fact, our eighty-year old friends remembered having heard the female evangelist team Stockton and Gould preach and sing at some of the most prominent evangelical [...]
Women and Liturgical Reform
By: Bridget Nichols | January 30, 2008
November 16 is the feast day of a remarkable woman: St. Margaret of Scotland. Margaret spent most of her early life in Hungary during her father’s exile. She returned to England with her family in 1056 or 1057, and, shortly after this her father died, leaving her brother as a possible heir to the childless Edward [...]
An Inductive Approach to Scripture
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | January 23, 2008
I recommend to you the work of John Polkinghorne, the noted Christian apologist and Cambridge physicist. Working in the area of particle physics, Polkinghorne notes that the physical world does not always behave the way scholars and scientists expect. Because the world is so strange and mysterious, a critical analysis of any field will always [...]
"Yes, But Not Yet!"
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | January 16, 2008
How many of us are in churches where we have been told that the time isn't right to consider the gender issue? Timing is everything, right? How many of us wonder when is the right time to model the example of women like Priscilla, who explained the way of the Lord to Apollos (Acts 18:6)? When [...]
Male Authority in the Church and Home, But Not Society?
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | January 9, 2008
I came across a book recently that reinvigorated my dedication to the mission of CBE. This book argues that because men are God’s appointed leaders in the home they are therefore God’s chosen leaders in the church as well. As I read the author's perspective, I wondered why he failed to insist upon [...]
Kephale as 'Source' or 'Origin?'
By: JL P | January 8, 2008
Why do some people say that there is no evidence kephale can mean 'source' or 'origin?'The Henry George Liddell and Robert Scott Greek lexicon lists, among the possible meanings of the Greek word kephale (translated as ‘head’ in English), ‘source’ or ‘origin.’ This is the word translated ‘head’ in 1 Corinthians 11:3 ("Now I want you [...]
A Minister's Husband
By: MaryAnn Nguyen-Kwok | January 3, 2008
'You should learn how to play the piano or something... since you'll be a minister's wife someday.'An older gentleman said this to me as we were walking along toward the Sunday school class where my husband Sam and I were to share about our missionary experiences. When we were single, Sam and I had [...]
