Ezer Rising serves as a platform for writers and members of our community to share their personal stories and understanding of theology as it relates to egalitarianism and gender equality. We write on various issues including equality in marriage, the abuse of women, women in leadership positions in the Church, pop culture’s view, and treatment of women, and more. We write on issues of racism, gender, and other marginalized identities in an effort to create content that elevates voices and creates meaningful dialogue that helps people grow and learn and change for the better. The views expressed by these writers in their posts and individual blogs, along with those commenting, are theirs alone and do not necessarily reflect the positions of the Ezer Rising team as a whole.
