The Unity of Creation
By: Allison J. Young | June 5, 2007
If God’s design for male-female relationships was unity and interdependence, and if hierarchy in relationships came as a result of sin, perhaps we need to reevaluate teachings on male “headship” in marriage today.
Moving from Male Privilege toward Shared Leadership in the Church
By: Kathy Escobar, Karl Wheeler | June 5, 2007

When God Says Rebel
By: Molly Aley | June 5, 2007
I once wholly believed in a patriarchal view—not only believed it, but lived it. I didn’t care if it didn’t feel good, I cared about obeying God.

By: Heather and Fred Gingrich | June 5, 2007
