I would like to see people like you and all others stand up for women’s equality, not because a woman might
have been an elder in the First Century, but because it is the right thing to do in the 21st century.
I want you to live like you are equal in Christ. I want you to walk up to your pastor and tell him that you are a
person saved by the grace of God, just like the men are, and that it is time that your church recognizes that,
and allows women to serve in all capacities in your church, because you do not live in the First Century.
Join Us!

Did you know that in a church near you:
Did you know that in a church near you:
- women can’t teach boys who have been baptized
- women can’t teach a mixed class of men and women
- women can’t sing in a choir behind the pulpit
- women can’t look to the left or right or behind them when they sing
- women can't make announcements behind a pulpit
- women can’t hand out a visitor’s card
- women can’t pass out or take up an attendance pad
- women can’t eulogize their parents at their funeral behind the pulpit
- women can’t take up the offering
- women can’t serve the Lord’s Supper
- women can’t be a deacon
| Whenever a church or denomination has in its bylaws that a woman can’t, then that individual church or denomination decides exactly what it is that a woman can’t do. It is not the Scriptures that tell a church what a woman can’t do, it is her church that tells her what she can't do. Will you join us in telling your church what it can't do? |
| Prayer Walk For Women in cooperation with Christians for Biblical Equality (CBE) March 28, 2012 Join Christians everywhere for a Prayer Walk to pray for all barriers to be removed that keeps women from serving God fully as she is called. Just step outside your home and pray that eyes will be opened and hearts touched and that God will hear our prayer. We value women and their response to God’s calling in their lives. We will put not put up any more barriers to women serving God fully as she is called. When one woman is denied leadership in church simply because she was born a woman, all women are denied. Restrictions against women are nurtured in the church, and bleed out into society, causing women, children, and marriages to suffer. Please pass this information along to your friends via facebook, twitter, groups, and all social media outlets. Join with your friends for the Prayer Walk in your neighborhood, or take a stand by yourself. We want to hear from you! contact Shirley Taylor at cbehouston@gmail.com There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28 |
Scriptures which form our theology state that when Jesus died, we weren't just saved - we were changed
into His likeness and His body. It tore the dividing wall of hostility when we became new creations in Christ.
That is why slave and free, Jews and Greeks, Muslims and Christians, black and white (add your own
couplet) are not limited by ANYTHING when it comes to access to God. It isn't just about salvation. It isn't
about gender. It isn't about roles. It is mind-blowing transformation of EVERYTHING that we thought we
knew.
We are here to lay down tracks for what the scripture says (Philip Payne), how it adversely affects people
when legalists try to make grace into law (Katie Hayes), what it looks like when men and women are free to
serve God in leadership via mutual submission and outward service (Todd Still), and how our culture is
affected by wrong thinking, and how we can transform that thinking and influence culture (J. Kirk).
This is a paradigm change for men and women to be encouraged, people of color, many nations, and
gender.
