Overcoming Barriers
By: Jennifer Sudderth | April 30, 1999
Jesus Christ wants his body to become one—every church, every person. He wants his body to experience the unity with him and with each other that he experiences with his Father. But this unity is hindered by barriers of many kinds.
Biblical Submission within Marriage

An Invisible People, An Invisible Problem
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | January 31, 1999
Covert (and perhaps unintentional) sexism is often as invisible to the perpetrators as it is to the victims.
Five Bricks at a Time
By: Bryant Myers | January 31, 1999
I was in Madras visiting a project that is a part of World Vision’s urban advance program. This 10-year-old initiative employs community organizing as the primary tool for promoting transformational development in urban settings. Organizing people around common issues creates the community framework often so hard to find in the city.

By: Tina Ostrander | January 31, 1999
The Bible is rich with metaphor. For instance, through the biblical imagery of husband and wife, bride and bridegroom, we come to understand the intimacy, fidelity and love our relationship with God demands.

Faith, Feminism, and Family
By: Catherine Clark Kroeger | January 31, 1999

By: Val Webb | January 1, 1999
To many, both in and outside the church, feminism is a dirty word, and feminist theology a direct defiance of what the Bible tells us about woman's place in the faith. "Not so!", says Webb. Using Galatians 3:28 as her scriptural base, she introduces us to feminist thought, not as a departure from tradition, but as [...]
God Gave Us the Right: Conservative Catholic, Evangelical Protestant, and Orthodox Jewish Women Grapple with Feminism
By: Christel Manning | January 1, 1999
What does it mean to be a religious conservative, particularly for women, in America today? While it appears that people are returning to conservative religion because they are fed up with the excesses of liberalism, including feminism, a closer look at the lives of religious conservatives reveals a more complex reality.
Mary of Nazareth: Exemplar of Biblical Spirituality
By: Diane Stinton | October 31, 1998
In his presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Luke introduces certain individuals who responded appropriately to the revelation of God in Jesus. One such person was Mary of Nazareth. A closer look at a few familiar passages, the Annunciation and the Magnificat (Lk 1:26-56), reveals certain characteristics of biblical spirituality that are exemplified in [...]
