Embrace Equity

March 8 2023 is International Women's Day and this year's theme is 'embrace equity'. 
Paul speaks of world in Christ where there is ‘neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus’ (Gal. 3:28).

Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively we can all #EmbraceEquity.

Celebrate women's achievement. Raise awareness about discrimination. Take action to drive gender parity.

Perhaps it is no wonder that the women were first at the cradle and last at the Cross. 
They had never known a man like this Man—there had never been such another. 
A prophet and teacher who never nagged about them, who never flattered or coaxed or patronized; 
who never made arch jokes about them, never treated either as “The women, God help us!” or “The ladies, God bless them!”;
who rebuked without querulousness and praised without condescension;
who took their questions and arguments seriously, who never mapped out their sphere for them, never urged them to be ‘feminine’ or jeered at them for being female;
who had no axe to grind and no uneasy male dignity to defend;
who took them as he found them and was completely unself-conscious.’
(Dorothy Sayers 1893 – 1957)

International Women’s Day is a call for us to follow Jesus, celebrate women and end discrimination.
