This is a fascinating biography of a pioneering crusader who heretofore has been ignored by historians.

Old Testament Prophets as Types for New Testament Leaders
By: Francis H. Geis | April 30, 1991
If God could call and equip women for this office and ministry without violating their roles as wives and mothers in ancient Israel, why can He not do so in the Church today? Indeed, in light of what Joel 2:28-32 has to say about the Messianic Age, the “New Age of Prophecy”, these OT women [...]
Bread and Roses at Bethany: A Chapel Meditation on Matthew 26:6-16
By: Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen | April 30, 1991
Because International Women’s Day has its roots in the largely-secular history of organized labor and the international socialist movement, we might well conclude that its celebration in the middle of lent is the result of accident rather than design. And yet I discovered during my research for this talk that the motto of the [...]
Managing Sexual Harassment
By: Lee Taylor | April 30, 1991
This is not an article about the role of women in the church or in the workplace. It is about managerial responsibility to safeguard women on the job.

Getting Control: Dealing with Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
By: Lee Taylor | January 30, 1991
It is useless to deny that women can be victims. Increasingly, the secular press documents it. The Christian press has long acknowledged it in society at large and is now beginning to acknowledge it even within the sacred walls of the church of Jesus Christ. People are also beginning to acknowledge that sexual harassment [...]
“Where Do I Go?”
By: Beverly Herbert | January 30, 1991
I came to see the fullness of the Christian community and church, but was I surprised. I found instead disdain for my impending leadership as a female. I found lack of acceptance for my ministry and my leadership. I heard so many masculine pronouns used and masculine leaders speak that I wondered if there [...]
Pulling Weeds before the Harvest
By: Evelyn Bence | January 30, 1991
Again I felt the tension and fear of choice. Would I stand with the church in power, but that I felt was out of line? Would I skirt the confrontation that would likely cost my life?
