Broken but Hopeful Hearts
By: Coralee Murray | September 5, 2006
As we see from the examples of Ruth and Naomi, God works through widows in unexpected and redemptive ways. Like Boaz and the people of Bethlehem, may we stand out in history for welcoming them and working with them, respecting and learning from their broken but hopeful hearts.
Birthfathers
By: Daryl Parks | September 5, 2006
The reality is that human birthfather stories are messy, complicated tales that contain elements of both good and evil. Should your next encounter with adoption stories find us absent, I invite you to welcome us in all of our complexity; it seems that the scriptures do.
Visibility & Inclusion
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | September 5, 2006
As men and women, we serve God not as distinct and separate groups, but as unique members of Christ’s body—created in God’s image—gifted through the Holy Spirit, obedient to God’s Word, and called to Christian service.
Devil with the Blue Dress
By: Brandon G. Withrow | August 17, 2006
Sometimes the simplest conversations can turn out to be the most complicated.

China Correcting Imbalance
By: Guest Author | August 8, 2006
It's wonderful, and perhaps all too rare, when countries realize their mistakes and take steps to correct them. China Daily reports that the imbalance between the numbers of boys and girls in China is growing so severe that if left unchecked there will be 25 million men in China between 2015 and 2030 with no hope of finding [...]
10 Lies the Church Tells Women: How the Bible Has Been Misused to Keep Women in Spiritual Bondage
By: J. Lee Grady | August 3, 2006
The gospel was never intended to restrain women from pursuing God or to prevent them from fulfilling their divine destiny. In his revised and updated book, Lee Grady boldly proclaims the truth of the gospel: that men and women are appointed by god and empowered by Him.
Why Does Injustice Against Women Abound?
By: Guest Author | August 1, 2006
Poverty and injustice discriminate. And the health and well-being of women around the world suffer because of it. Many of us who live in privilege do not worry about their daughters being raped during war or being forced into prostitution. Many of us who live in privilege do not think about injustice and inequality at [...]
Editor's Reflections | Summer 2006
By: William David Spencer | July 31, 2006
When a woman covers her head in faiths as diverse but related as Islam, Judaism, and Christianity, we should all want to know why—and what that requirement means for her and for all women, as well as for men.
Wild Hair and Gender Equality in 1 Corinthians 11:2–16
By: Philip B. Payne | July 31, 2006
C. F. D. Moule wrote that the problems raised by 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 “still await a really convincing explanation.” G. B. Caird added, “It can hardly be said that the passage has yet surrendered its secret.” W. Meeks regarded it as “one of the most obscure passages in the Pauline letters.”
