Christian Ministry Walking the Path of Male Allyship
For women and men to thrive equally in ministry, the church needs male allies who are committed to supporting women in their callings. Building on the foundations of his previous book, Together in Ministry , Rob Dixon presents seven proven steps to becoming an effective ally, grounded in qualitative research, real-life examples, and biblical insights. With action-oriented suggestions, reflection questions in every chapter, and inspirational true stories, Allies in Ministry is a vital resource for helping the church become a community where women can thrive in ministry in equal measure. In Allies in Ministry , Rob Dixon: • articulates a unique Christian approach to male allyship; • provides a concrete, sequenced process for developing more men into more effective allies to women; • draws insight from biblical teaching, real-life examples, and original research; and • offers practical guidance to help transform good intentions into meaningful action for both women and men who want to create a culture of male allyship.
“Rob Dixon has done it again with this mission critical, biblically grounded, and accessible guide to fostering equitable, hospitable environments where women and men can lead together, freely and fully.” Liz Testa, director of equity-based hospitality and women’s transformation and leadership for the Reformed Church in America “Dixon leverages evidence from Scripture and his own in-depth qualitative interviews with ministerial leaders to show men the pathway to stronger leadership, humble allyship, and Christlike partnership with women in the ministry.” Brad Johnson and David Smith, coauthors of Good Guys: How Men Can Be Better Allies for Women in the Workplace
