(Global Impact) Sitting Down with Seasoned Activists Ron and Arbutus Sider

Mutuality Matters

This week on the Global Impact Thread, hosts Mimi Haddad and Kim Dickson get to sit down with long-time CBE friends and influential world changers Ron and Arbutus Sider in their backyard (with Kim calling in via Zoom). They talk about the progress of positive change for women that Arbutus notes in her reflections from the time she was a young girl to today. Central to this discussion is their own change as a couple from patriarchy to mutuality. Arbutus’s reflections on Ron’s cancer and how that requires changes reflects the wider issue of how different seasons require changing roles. We also discuss Ron’s work with the Evangelicals for Social Action, and the impact of his many books on the Christian world.

Within the interview you will hear references to:
