Working to Change Ideas
By: John Maust | October 30, 1990
When Mariana arrived in Costa Rica in 1984, she was in for a shock. She saw that people with physical limitations generally were given no responsibility for, or control over, their own lives. In some homes, people with physical limitations were kept “hidden away in a back room.” She immediately set out to help persons [...]
Speaking Up for Women Without a Voice
By: Mariana Ruybalid | October 30, 1990
At least 10% of the people in developing countries have functional limitations, said a 1984 World Health Organization report. Of these, women and girls receive proportionately less food, less education and less opportunity. Women with physical limitations are the poorest of the poor.
Women in Sacred Music
By: Julie Ann Flora | July 30, 1990
In the struggle to serve God, women have used their musical talent and influence in various ways. From Bible times to the present day, music has played an important part in worship of our great God. Students continue to explore, search out, and discover the part women played in this area through the years.
The Cost of Obedience
By: Sandra J. Lawliss | July 30, 1990
Here, my brother, come take my hand | As we travel together through a pilgrim’s land | To discover our talents, our faith, our fears | And realize our calling through laughter and tears.
From Poet to Judge: What Does Ephesians 5 Teach about Male-Female Roles?
By: Aída Besançon Spencer | July 30, 1990
In contrast, many fine studies have been done to disprove the notion that Ephesians 5:22-23 affirms male leadership in the home. I would like to reinforce those studies by an in depth look at the literary context of the passage, and also by highlighting the figurative language Paul uses.
Ordination in the New Testament (With Pertinent Biblical Materials)
By: Berkeley Mickelsen | July 30, 1990
Some lay persons have been surprised when they look in their concordances under "ordain" or "ordination" to find nothing helpful in their search for a biblical basis for the ordination of ministers. A biblical basis for the ordination of ministers involves the interpreter with a lot of inferences and assumptions.
Theosebeia, a Priestly Colleague of Gregory of Nyssa
By: Guest Author | April 30, 1990
The one hundred and ninety-seventh letter of Gregory of Nazianzus, addressed to Gregory of Nyssa, contains a message of consolation over the death of Theosebeia, who has apparently been his colleague in the Gospel ministry. “Theosebeia, actually the priestess and colleague of a priest and equally honored and equally worthy of the Great Sacraments.”
The Husband of One Wife?
By: Guest Author | April 30, 1990
There is considerable debate as to how we should understand the command that a bishop, elder, or deacon should be the husband of one wife. (I Timothy 2:2,12. Titus 1:6) Sometimes these verses are used to argue that only men may be deacons, elders, or bishops because only men have wives. Actually, women enrolled in the order [...]
On The Road: What It’s Like for Children
By: Donna C. Fujimoto | April 30, 1990
My father was an evangelist and my mother, sister and I were going to join him in his full-time ministry. It wasn’t long before we were on the road. For me that road stretched over four years of time; I lost track of the number of miles and faces.
“The Desires of Thine Heart”
By: Evelyn Bence | April 30, 1990
I flushed with embarrassment. Desire for a soul-mate was something I felt all too keenly, but something I talked about with only a few close friends. Although I looked for him, the man of my dreams had not ridden – on a horse or in a sports car – over the horizon. For my emotional survival, desire [...]
