Imago Dei And Justice
By: Abraham George | August 1, 2012
As a change agent in the community, the body of Christ must come to an understanding of the biblical concept of the image of God. An understanding of humanity as the bearer of that image—regardless of any classification society or culture might impose—is intrinsic to the church’s engagement in seeking justice.
How The Early Church Viewed Women
By: Philip B. Payne | August 1, 2012
This recording examines how early church leaders viewed women. It begins with Jesus Christ, moves to Paul, and highlights how various early church leaders’ insights into Paul’s teachings are helpful in guiding us to understand those statements as Paul intended them, namely as affirmations of women and their leadership roles in the church. Some [...]

By: Lillian Kimani | August 1, 2012
This recording addresses the role of Christian leaders in advocating for gender social justices from a biblical context. The session outlines steps church leaders can take to become effective advocates for women in the communities in which they serve.
The Trinitarian Concept Of Mutuality
By: Richard Howell | August 1, 2012
The Bible teaches equality and essential dignity of men and women of all ethnicities, ages, and classes, as all are created in the image and likeness of God. Since the church is called to be salt and light in the context in which we live, it is essential that the church recognizes and promotes the [...]
Examining the Twelve Pillars of Male Hierarchy
By: Philip B. Payne | August 1, 2012
This recording examines the twelve pillars most often adduced as biblical support for male hierarchy in the church and in the home. It shows that statements in the Bible adduced for this do not, in fact, support male hierarchy. To the contrary, they rather provide evidence for the equal standing and authority of man and [...]
Wading the Waters of Marriage with Hope Amidst Socio-Economic Challenges
By: Jenipha Wasonga | August 1, 2012
This recording examines the attitudes that negate God’s purpose for marriage often in the form of religious restriction on women in the home, church, and society. It then outlines the purpose, place, and sanctity of marriage, and shows how marriage relationships can be improved through mutual submission despite storms worsened by socio-economic situations.
Gendered Economics and Social Privileges: An Obstruction To Biblical Justice
By: David Kodia | August 1, 2012
In many marriages, especially in Africa, men use their traditional social status as bread winners and heads of their families to intimidate their wives into submission. Often, men can have employment that boosts them economically, but women are limited to kitchen and home duty. There has to be a deeper and more aggressive intervention from [...]
Biblical Concept Of New Man, New Woman, New Life
By: Carrie A. Miles | August 1, 2012
The Bible presents a three-part story of human relationship with God and with each other. This story reveals that both man and woman were created equally in the image of God to fulfill an ideal—a “one flesh,” “naked and not ashamed” relationship. That was the crowning act of creation. The second part of the [...]
Transforming Our World of Faith: Attitudes About Sexual Harassment and Abuse
By: Esther Mombo | August 1, 2012
The church in Africa has not been able to name and shame sexual harassment and abuse in society in general or in Christian families specifically. The silence has led to untold misery for sexual harassment survivors. In order for the church to remain credible in society, it must name and challenge sexual harassment, and must [...]
Why Gender Hierarchy is at Odds with Christian Faith and How it Leads to Abuse
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | August 1, 2012
Too often the patriarchy of Bible culture has been confused with the moral teachings of Scripture. This workshop will explore how Christians working to end slavery challenged power, dominance, and self-interest in interpreting Scripture so that the church might become more effective agents of reconciliation in the world. What might egalitarians today learn from the [...]
