A Call to Co-operation
By: Robyn Claydon | October 31, 1989
When the term "co-operation" is used, the emphasis is usually on "co" -together, but let us not forget that the phrase means as much "working" together as working "together." There is action involved in "co-operation", but it is an action undertaken in unity.
We Are Equal, This We Know
By: Leo Kwiatkowski | October 31, 1989
We are equal, this we know, For the Bible tells us so. Jew and Greek to God belong; Racial barriers are all wrong.
Beginning at the Beginning
By: Frances Hiebert | July 31, 1989
To really understand what the Bible all about, you need to begin with the Beginning. That gives you a perspective on cosmic and human history that puts the rest of Scripture in focus. We then see the Bible "through the Lens of Eden," as Mildred Enns Toews from Winnipeg, Manitoba says.
Lady Justice: The Contribution of Women in Mystery Fiction
By: William David Spencer | July 31, 1989
Are people sick of reading novels that portray women as either victims or villains? Are Christians fed up with fiction that stereotypes believers as simply helplessly innocent or hopelessly immoral? Is the major, moral, middle-class reader in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain growing weary of nearly exclusively seeing endless images of the sinister [...]

The Role of Women in Christian Education
By: James Plueddemann | July 31, 1989
To build the Body of Christ, we must use all our God-given resources. Yet the church is fragmenting itself over the issue of how to use the resources. I argue that the testimony of the whole body of Scripture leaves room for cultural interpretation on the role of women in the church, and thus [...]
The Game…The Road
By: Alice Movius Painter | July 31, 1989
There seems to be a game – that you must play, if you would rise. | There seems to be a game – and with it lots of compromise | You live to impress others, and you're as slick as you can be. | But, where – oh, where – are perfect hearts, and deep sincerity?& [...]
Biblical Equality and Christian Ministry
By: Gretchen Gaebelein Hull | July 31, 1989
Certainly if someone stopped you or me and said, "define a Christian world view," we would not begin with particulars but would start with the broader basics. So let's ask some questions about those basics, and see if our answers will shed light on this particular matter of gender roles.
The Silent Loom
By: Deborah L. Menken | April 30, 1989
We have a tradition of spiritual revolutionaries – women of intense reconstructionistic convictions who were devout in their inner lives. The pages of history bear records of female champions of the faith who were called to transform their society – who knew how to balance social activity with inner solitude.
Images of God
By: John Weaver | April 30, 1989
The God presented by the biblical authors and worshipped in the Church today cannot be regarded as having gender, any more than God can be regarded as having race or color. In recognizing this truth, we will be more free to use inclusive metaphors for God.
