classes for Fall 2025
Join Hayley Rose (M.A. NCC LPC) and Rachel Darnall (M.A. Theological Studies) as we explore the causes, effects and cure for gender hierarchy in eight video episodes covering areas including: moral responsibility; work and compensation; reproduction and parenthood; civic life; education; marriage; sexual agency.
Participants will learn the surprising truth about why patriarchy happens, how it’s developed and mutated throughout history, and how Christians can honor God’s original plan for gender equality and co-rule while living in “a man’s world.”
Instructors: Mako Nagasawa, Hayley Rose, Rachel Darnall
