This month in MESSENGER:
This year marks 50 years since women were granted full rights to ordination in the denomination, but it is still difficult for many women to have their gifts recognized. Dana Cassell reviews the history behind this major milestone and the challenges that remain. Other stories include the second-place winner in the peace essay contest, a look at fair trade, a Bible study on 2 Corinthians, and coverage of National Young Adult Conference.
Coming in November 2008:
What youth and young adults need to know about money, the impact of Brethren Volunteer Service, the global food crisis, Bible study on Galatians, movie review, and more.
