Welcome

This site addresses the issue of women’s roles within the church, or sisters’ roles within the ecclesia, to use terminology more familiar to those within the Christadelphian community for whom this resource is primarily provided.

Since the inception of the Christadelphian body in the mid 1800’s, its congregations have, by and large, accepted and implemented traditional church restrictions on the roles of women as were current within society at the time.

With the passage of some six generations, we now have opportunity to reflect on the effects of these policies, and consider also the increased scholarly resources which were not available to our pioneer brothers, but which give a clearer understanding of how the 1st Century believers lived and worshipped.

OneVoice includes all kinds of documents; comprehensive analysis, exposition of specific texts, articles on related issues, personal statements, appeals and links. We aim to develop the site over time, God Willing, and suggestions are welcome.

We pray that this service will be a blessing to our beloved sisters and brothers, leading the way to fuller, wiser, kinder, deeper and truer service to our Lord. Please consider these writings with an open and prayerful heart, and apply them in courage and love.
