📚 "No Time for Silence" is a very well documented study of the advocacy of women ministries by evangelicals between 1880 and 1930. This book ought to sound the death knell for two myths that appear with astonishing regularity in the arguments of the opponents of women's ordination: (1) The myth that believers in biblical inerrancy are bound to dispute the legitimacy of women's ministries, or, vice versa, that supporters of such ministries are bound to reject the complete authority of the Bible. (2) The myth that the feminist movement among evangelicals is simply a misguided effort to emulate the secular feminism which has gained ground since the 1950's.

Book Review: Silenced: The Forgotten Story of Progressive Era Free Methodist Women - CBE International 09/18/2024

📚 Kimberly Dickson reviews "Silenced" by Christy Mesaros-Winckles, uncovering how the Free Methodist Church, founded on equality in 1860, gradually silenced women’s ministry from 1890 to 1974. Through detailed research, Mesaros-Winckles reveals the church's shift from promoting women’s ordination to sidelining them due to rising cultural forces like the cult of domesticity and premillennialism. This powerful study adds crucial insight to women’s history and the broader landscape of nineteenth-century Protestantism. 🔗 Head to https://loom.ly/GAOMrK8

Why Mothers Matter as much as Fathers in Shaping our Perception of God - CBE International 09/12/2024

God ordained families to ensure children are begotten and raised by both image-bearers—male and female. Do we honestly think the way a mother interacts with her growing children in their formative years has nothing to do with how they see God later in life?

📚 Should women be allowed to lead in the church and the home? What does the Bible mean when it calls Eve "helper"? How do cultural beliefs devalue women? How can we foster women's equality in other cultures?

These are just some of the questions answered in Is Women's Equality a Biblical Ideal? This five-part lecture series explores the biblical, historical, and social precedent for women's shared leadership in the church, the home, and the world. Topics include Old and New Testament evidence of women's leadership, women's leadership in church history, understanding power dynamics, and working cross-culturally.

Originally developed for NGOs, humanitarian organizations, and Christian leaders to effectively promote the full gifting, vocation, and authority of women throughout the world, this lecture series and companion workbook make a wonderful resource for both personal and group study.

Reclaiming God’s plan for women’s equality

Families and churches thrive when women and men use their God-given talents to lead and serve together. Yet women aren’t free to use their leadership gifts due to misinterpretations of Scripture that reinforce patriarchy and strict gender roles. With supporters from 65 countries and over 100 denominations, CBE proclaims God’s design for equal partnership between men and women, educating and advocating for reform.

CBE’s Mission Statement:
CBE International (formerly known as Christians for Biblical Equality) exists to promote the biblical message that God calls women and men of all cultures, races, and classes to share authority equally in service and leadership in the home, church, and world. Our mission is to eliminate the power imbalance between men and women resulting from theological patriarchy.
