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. Our laws today say that employers have that responsibility. They must ensure that women are not unfairly treated as sex objects, and that sexuality not interfere with [...]
Poor Little Blind Girl
By: Julie Ann Flora | April 30, 1991
Francis Jane (Fanny) Crosby was born in New York on March 24, 1820. She caught a cold at the age of six weeks, and a doctor prescribed a mustard poultice for her inflamed eyes.

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.

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?
More Than “Vacuum Cleaner Commandos”: Affirming Egalitarian Males
By: William David Spencer | January 30, 1991
Recently my neighbor told me about a widower living in double jeopardy. With no homemaking training in his past and no wife to clean up after him, his house was piled high with junk, dirty dishes, and soiled clothes. In addition, he had to share that house with a virtual stranger: his child.

By: Roberta Hestenes† | October 31, 1990
There are many models of ministry. Women are as diverse as men in the patterns of ministry they follow. But let's look at the response of this one woman to Jesus to learn more about the place of women in ministry.
A Tribute
By: Patricia D. Bailey | October 30, 1990
FROM THE CONCEPTION OF MANKIND IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN UNTIL THIS PRESENT HOUR, I WAS IN HIS PLAN.
The "Woman" of Augustine of Hippo
By: Matthew V. Brown | October 30, 1990
Augustine's view of women had a profound effect on the developing Christian church. However, any critical discussion of Augustine's attitude toward women as derived from his discursive texts must take into account the nature of his philosophical and social milieu, and its predominant view of women.
