By: Hannah Swithinbank | May 8, 2013
In an ideal world, I’d be able to say, "You know, I don’t need a man to defend the right of women to be in leadership or in ministry." But we don’t live in an ideal world.
Why I Can No Longer Defend the Ministry of Women in the Church

An Ethos of Mutuality
By: Tim Krueger | August 1, 2012
Christianity ought to model an alternative to the world’s obsession with self. Yet, the male-only leadership of many churches and Christian homes does the opposite, providing a breeding ground for these very same problems.
Christian Response to Gender Issues in Africa in the Era of HIV and AIDS
By: Esther Mombo | July 22, 2012
Some areas of sexual violence have been perpetuated by cultural practices like wife inheritance (a male relative inheriting his kinsman’s wife after he dies). While on the surface the church seemed to challenge cultural practices, this has not been the case with practices that have been sexual and which largely affect women. Wife inheritance and [...]
