Slavery and Women: How the Early Evangelicals Challenged Gender and Ethnic Prejudice by Mimi Haddad
About our Speaker:
Dr. Mimi Haddad has served as president of CBE since 2001. Before becoming president, she worked for CBE since 1997 as director of development and public relations, and then executive director. Haddad is a founding member of the Evangelicals and Gender Study Group at the Evangelical Theological Society, and she served as the convener of the Issue Group 24 for the 2004 Lausanne III Committee for World Evangelization.
Christians for Biblical Equality (CBE) is a nonprofit organization of Christian men and women who believe that the Bible, properly interpreted, teaches the fundamental equality of men and women of all ethnic groups, all economic classes, and all age groups, based on the teachings of Scripture. CBE recognizes that injustice is an abuse of power, taking from others what God has given them:
their dignity, their freedom, their resources, and even their very lives. CBE also recognizes that prohibiting individuals from exercising their God-given gifts to further his kingdom constitutes injustice in a form that impoverishes the body of Christ and its ministry in the world at large.
