Mixed Ministry: Working Together as Brothers and Sisters in an Oversexed Society Paperback - 2008
by Sue Edwards; Kelley Mathews; Henry J. Rogers (With)
From the rear cover
Men and women working together can be a powerful ministry partnership, but it can also raise a lot of prickly questions:
- How does one relate to the opposite sex in a working environment?
- The New Testament treats Christian men and women as sacred siblings. Is that relationship a reality in our ministry?
- What are the appropriate bridges and boundaries?
- How can we learn to be "safe" in our dress, actions, and communication?
- How do sacred siblings interact in personal conversations, staff meetings, and professional outings?
In Mixed Ministry, the male and female authors explore these common and thorny issues in depth. Using biblical examples; personal interviews with ministry leaders; and practical advice on topics such as modesty, boundaries, communication, and interaction as siblings; the authors outline how staff and lay leaders can develop healthy working partnerships in their ministries. When men and women see each other with "new eyes" as brothers and sisters in Christ, ministry can thrive.
"As the church moves forward spreading the love of Christ, it must do so in an atmosphere of partnership and celebration. Because men and women are created in God's image, we must find a way to work together to build His kingdom. Mixed Ministry shows us the way!"
