Finding Freedom in a Fair God
By: Mary Duncan | September 5, 2000
Imagine my surprise after becoming a Christian to learn that God does not consider women to be equal with men! I grew up in a non-Christian home. My mother and father were divorced when I was a year old. Mom remarried when I was three years old, and subsequently had four more children by my [...]
Called To Climb
By: Karen Lichlyter-Klein | September 5, 2000
A wise man once told me, “Chose carefully which hills you are willing to die on.” When I first heard that statement, I was not sure what it meant, but as years have passed, I now know well what that man intended to tell me. My story began as a 9-year-old girl growing up in [...]
My Mother in the Ministry
By: Dan Gentry Kent | June 5, 2000
When I was growing up in small towns in East Texas, I heard many a minister refer to some older man as his “father in the ministry.” It was only as I neared my own retirement that I realized that I had been blessed by a “mother in the ministry.” If you can have [...]

Apologetics: The Egalitarian Imperative
By: Douglas Groothuis | June 5, 2000
There is another apologetic mission that egalitarians are in a unique and opportune position to fulfill. This involves presenting the message of biblical equality to the unbelieving world in a persuasive manner, thus winning to Christ people who might never be touched by traditionalist approaches.
Still Loving, Honoring, and Growing into Freedom
By: Maxine Hancock | April 30, 2000
It is twenty-five years since my first book, Love, Honor and Be Free, was published by Moody Press. Subtitled “A Christian Woman’s Response to Today’s Call to Liberation,” it offered a thoughtful, if very conservative, place to stand in the midst of the swirl of antifamily—and often anti-Christian—rhetoric that [...]
The Search for Biblical Equality in Church Life: A Korean Woman's Journey
By: Bokyoung Park | March 5, 2000
As I reached adulthood, I recognized that inherent in the structure of Korean society was gender discrimination. I also recognized that gender discrimination extended even into the Korean churches. When I felt called to attend seminary to train to be a full-time minister, my gender stood as an obstacle.
Teachers, Learners, Moms: A Retreat for the Whole Woman
By: Tricia Elisara | March 5, 2000
I got on the phone with a number of like-minded women, who are also moms and floated the idea of a “retreat for the whole woman.”
