The theme for CBE’s Winter 2006 issue of Mutuality magazine is “worship and equality.” Please pitch us your ideas for a feature article on topics related to this theme. Reviews, art, and poetry are also welcome. Here are a few topics we still need authors for:

· The role of spirituals and freedom songs in the long struggle for ethnic equality and justice in the United States

· Examples of worship leaders in the Bible, like Miriam and David

· Examples of worship leaders in Church history, like Hildegaard of Bingen

· Themes of justice and equality in the Psalms, and how the Psalms have influenced the church’s worship

· Themes of justice and equality in Mary’s Magnificat

· Reflections on how worship has influenced your understanding of biblical equality and justice, and vice versa

· Examples of how worship can be a topic of division, but also a source of unity and healing

The deadline for articles is coming up in November, so let us know right away if you’d like to contribute.

Mary’s Magnificat is as revealing as it is prophetic. In this we have a clear statement of Mary’s own need for a Savior (Luke 1:47). Perhaps God, foreseeing the Mary worship that would follow some day, inspired her to say this in order to clarify her true position. Additionally, she says, “He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away,” a foreshadowing of the beatitudes taught by her Son (”Blessed are the poor in spirit…” Matt.5:3). Did Jesus grow up hearing her say this? After all, He lived in her home. Although He received His teaching directly from His Father, is it possible He also received teaching from His mother? Perhaps the Father spoke through her from time to time. She may have been the ultimate example of a woman teaching a man.
