Mutuality Themes in 2026-2027
33.3 Autumn 2026 | Made Whole (Conference Issue)
In these days, too many people consider women and men’s biblical equality to be a “secondary issue,” irrelevant or unimportant. But when half the church is hurting, the whole church is hurting. “If one part [of the body] suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it” (1 Cor. 12:26). Women have suffered under theological patriarchy whether because they have been prevented from following a calling into leadership or treated as less than equal partners in the home. The church as a whole is weaker without the voices and equal contribution of its women. In Christ we no longer have divisions based on gender or status (Gal. 3:28), so why do so many continue to propagate a fallen, broken relationship between genders?
For this conference issue of Mutuality, we will follow the theme of our upcoming 2026 conference, Made Whole, and get into what it means to be equal partners, working side by side according to our gifts. Share your articles about the body of Christ, transforming hurt into healing, or the powerful impact that women have had when allowed to follow their callings. We welcome authors of all backgrounds, cultures, socioeconomic levels – both women and men. May we come together to listen, learn, and grow as one body in which women and men lead side by side as equal partners.
Submissions are closed.
33.4 Winter 2026 | Prophetic Voices
In times of great suffering, corruption, or uncertainty, Christian mystics rise up, speaking prophetically to the church and the world, paving the way for much-needed reform. Because the mystics often operated outside the normal rules or expectations of mainline church organizations, many faithful female mystics found space to write, do theology, lead reform, demand holiness in leaders, and serve God.
In this issue of Mutuality, we will examine the powerful impact of Christian mystics today and throughout history as they speak out against the confusion and evil of their times and meditate on the powerful influence theological mysticism can have in times of struggle. We welcome articles about specific female Christian mystics and their influence; articles that discuss the relative freedom female theological mystics had to write and contribute to theology compared to mainline church structures of their day; articles that discuss the powerful role theological mysticism and holiness movements have in influencing leaders, communities, and culture; articles about what Christian mystic teachings are relevant to the suffering we see today; or any other pieces relevant to this theme. We welcome authors of all backgrounds, cultures, denominations, and socioeconomic levels—both women and men. Together we will meditate on the rich heritage of the Christian mystics both contemporary and ancient. What are they saying to us today?
