How others are working for equality

Guest Street Evangelist Report

Ruth's story

My husband and I have been gathering a group at our home for the last year to discuss Biblical equality.

We are a mixed group of singles, married, old and young but we all are passionate about getting the word out that there is another way of interpreting the Bible regarding women in leadership and authority in the home. I have enjoyed passing out Christians for Biblical Equality materials like candy to folks interested and even to those who are not interested!

I’m very blessed to have a husband for over 30 years who is a better egalitarian than I am!

Even though we came from a very conservative church culture, we always knew that keeping women down wasn’t the way of Christ. So now our mission is to help others trapped in that way of thinking so that they see another way. It can be frustrating at times when people are so narrow minded and afraid, but I know that if this is God’s work, it will prevail!

Mothers Speaking Up for Daughters (MSUD)

Will you be a voice for your daughters? In Matthew 15 we learn of a Gentile woman - not a Jewish woman - a woman like you and me. She wanted something for her daughter that only Jesus could give. She wanted healing for her.

Jesus told her that he had not been sent to the Gentiles, but to the Jews only. She pleaded with him, begging for her daughter. Jesus, hearing her plea and knowing that the time was coming that Gentiles and everyone would be covered by his saving grace, answered her plea and healed her daughter. M

We are pleading for our daughters. Jesus has already come to the Gentiles, but the church has withheld its favor from our girls.

Will you be a voice for your daughter? A voice for a neighbor's daughter?

Tell your friends, those you meet, your Sunday school class, everywhere you go that you are speaking up for girls. See Rules to Follow.

Tell others that you are a Mother Speaking Up for Daughters.

We recommend this CBE Conference July 2015

Please be in prayer for the Seventh Day Adventists organization called Women's Ordination. At the 2014 Annual Council of the Seventh Day Adventists, delegates voted to send the following question to delegates at the 2015 General Conference Session:

After your careful consideration of what is best for the Church and the fulfillment of its mission,

Is it acceptable for division executive committees, as they may deem it appropriate in their territories, to make provision for the ordination of women to the gospel ministry? Yes or No”
