Different but Equal? Giving Words Their Real Meaning
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | December 5, 2008
Let’s give words back their true meaning. Being equal must always and everywhere include shared authority. If that is not what is intended, then a word other than “equal” will have to be found.
God of Sarah, Rebekah, and Ruth
By: Mindy Withrow | February 15, 2008
I got used to hearing Scripture readings and having to internally translate “man” to “humanity” or “people;” to seeing women behind the piano but not the pulpit or conducting the children’s choir but not the adult musicians.
Women Interpreters of the Bible
By: Marion Taylor, Heather E. Weir | December 5, 2007
Sarah Trimmer (1741–1810), Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896), and Elizabeth Baxter (1837–1926) are three foremothers of faith who have left us an extensive legacy of published works.
A Forum of Sensible Voices
By: Brandon G. Withrow | December 5, 2007

The Story of a Semi-Reluctant Role Model
By: JoAnn Streeter Shade | September 5, 2007

By: John R. Kohlenberger III | September 1, 2007
Seeking Justice and Loving Mercy: Gender and Equality in the Bible and our Culture
Simply Doing Justice
By: Richard L. Gathro | March 5, 2007
The doctrine of the fall of humanity is easy to verify — all we have to do is pay attention to the news. Injustice is easy to spot, both blatantly and subtly, in institutions such as the Church, government, corporations, families, and my own field, Christian higher education.
Ordinary People—Extraordinary Advocates
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | March 5, 2007
We have all watched as pastors, athletes, and artists use their reputations to advance an important cause. How thankful we are that Bono uses his global popularity to give voice to the suffering of HIV/AIDS victims.
Women's Care in Relation
By: Helen LaKelly Hunt | March 5, 2007
We can follow these examples of radical acts of loving by making small choices each day: recognizing someone else’s pain before yelling at them for being too needy; giving someone the benefit of the doubt before jumping to conclusions; forgiving someone who has disappointed us.
What Are You About? Why Are You Here?
By: Tom McCarthy | March 5, 2007
We have left Urbana changed by the enthusiasm for ministry of the many young people we encountered, the dedication of the mission “lifers” we met, and a renewed conviction that the mission of CBE is essential to the life of the Body of Christ in a needy world.
