Conversations about gender, both inside and outside the church, can frequently degenerate into stale and rancorous disputes in which predictable arguments
are traded back and forth, or fade awkwardly away into the tense silences of mutual misunderstanding. But the issue is an important one, and calls for a better conversation than either of those alternatives.
In September 2015, Morling College hosted a one-day symposium entitled The Gender Conversation. A rich and diverse mix of contributors met to discuss issues of gender, theology, and Christian living, within a shared
framework of evangelical conviction. Our aim in hosting the symposium was to deepen mutual understanding and respect, highlight common ground, clarify points of difference, and unite us all in a quest to learn from the
Scriptures and live in the light of the gospel.
This book brings together the papers presented at the symposium and the contributors’ responses to one another, as a resource for further reflection and discussion.
