We asked our supporters what concrete measures churches can take to combat abuse in Christian communities and strengthen their internal response to abuse. Some of you weighed in with some great ideas and examples, which we’ve compiled below.
An Advocate's Parable: Platforms, Pennies, and Privilege
By: Tami Zacharias | July 5, 2017
Jesus was sitting near the temple treasury one day, observing all who passed by. He witnessed many wealthy people give large sums of money to the treasury.

Does Christian Patriarchy Make Women Unsafe?
By: Rachel Asproth | June 23, 2017
Naturally, social hierarchies are safe for those at the top. They’re designed to preserve the existing social structure, which already prioritizes the needs and perspectives of the group with power. Social hierarchies don’t make less powerful people and groups safer. Rather, they exacerbate any vulnerabilities and pose danger and harm to marginalized people.

Agents of the Gospel or Secular Feminists?
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | June 5, 2017
We envision a world where women receive the same dignity and opportunities as men. Like the abolitionists, we seek to expose shallow biblical scholarship.
5 Things Egalitarians Believe about Gender Differences
By: Tim Krueger | June 5, 2017
Egalitarians believe the Bible promotes two senses of equality: equality of nature and equality of opportunity. Neither requires or even hints that women and men are or should be identical. Egalitarians don’t deny difference, we deny that difference is destiny.
Apple Picking Theology: The Intersectionality of Jesus
By: Karen González | June 5, 2017
When our egalitarian theology is intersectional, we can be confident that our whole identities matter to the God who formed and chose us. No form of oppression should escape the scrutiny of the gospel.
