Headcoverings and Women’s Roles in the Church: A new reading of 1 Corinthians 11:2–16
By: Laurie C. Hurshman, Christopher R. Smith | January 31, 2003
This article is an attempt to solve one specific problem: the proper translation of the word exousia in 1 Corinthians 11:10 (“For this reason the woman ought to have exousia over her head, because of the angels”). The translation of this word has been given much attention, because it is crucial for understanding the passage (11:2-16).

Approximately 6,000 girls are subjected to female genital mutilation each day, and 30% of girls subjected to its most radical form die from the effects. Four million women are sold each year as slaves. In sub-Saharan Africa, 55% of [...]
Feeling Pain in the Body of Christ
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | December 5, 2002
History teaches us that failure to recognize and empathize with suffering is dangerous physically and spiritually. I wonder if something similar has happened in the body of Christ. Part of the body is hurting, but needed change is not being made.
