By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | June 5, 2003
As the movement of biblical equality finds expression not only in academic communication, but also in the arts, we indeed feel the wind rush past our faces as we sit in our open cockpit plane, flying through the clouds, heading towards the sun, and the Son.
African Advocate Links AIDS to Position of Women
By: Joanne Nystrom Janssen | June 5, 2003
