Gender Matters

"And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man." -Genesis 2:22.
Issues of gender have long been cause for debate.  In America and elsewhere in the world, distinctions and definitions, prejudices and convictions drive decisions and policies, assumptions and assertions that affect us all.  This week we will begin exploring the history of this issue and examining how it is currently being addressed in our world.
