I’ve been reading Hugh Hewitt’s Blog: Understanding the Information Reformation That’s Changing Your World, which compares blogging to the Gutenberg printing press, the evils of cultural elite punditry of left-wing bias to the evils of Catholic indulgences, the undoing of the Main-Stream Media to the undoing of the medieval Catholic Church. Just as Luther […]
Christians for Biblical Equality has just launched its new blog called “The Scroll.” Its blog team numbers ten to twelve members who are geographically dispursed. CBE is excited about this new foray into a new mode of communication, not only to better get out its message of the Biblical basis for gender equality, […]
Andy Rowell has posted a couple of excellent bibliographies regarding women in ministry on his blog:
Bibliography of Books - Egalitarian and Complementarian
Bibliography of Commentaries on the Problem Passages
Welcome to the new Christian Egalitarians site. The blog software being used is Word Press which has more functionality than Blogger. I’ve gotten through a lot of it, but have a lot to go, especially things called “Plugins.”
All posts and comments have been transferred and while the old site has been closed down, […]
I didn’t expect this workshop at the CBE conference to be controversial or get my dander up.

It is Discovering Biblical Equality: Complementarity Without Hierarchy. Its general editors are Ronald W. Pierce and Rebecca Merrill Groothuis and its contributing editor is Gordon Fee […]
Having taught Mere Christianity in small group over the last year, I was not pleased with the comments C.S. Lewis makes in this book that he published early in his writing career. It was of great interest to me, then, to see this topic addressed at the CBE conference by Dr. Mary Stewart Van […]
The blog team for the CBE conference is Marion, Susan, JJ, Carolyn, Lucy, Andy, Beulah, Shari, Sara, and myself. Two are from Pennsylvania, the rest are from Minnesota, New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Canada, and India. We have two information technology specialists, an editor, an executive director of a religious nonprofit organization, a […]
The blog team for the CBE International conference coming up in about two weeks has put itself together. The nine members plan to “blog the conference.” Many associations are doing this now, either officially or unofficially. This blog effort will not be an official effort of the association, but is the sole […]
