The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood

The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW) is an organization that promotes a traditional interpretation of the Bible concerning gender roles. It advocates that men and women have distinct roles based on Scripture—men as leaders and women as supporters or helpers. CBMW seeks to encourage churches and individuals to adhere to these biblical principles, emphasizing complementarity while maintaining respect for both genders. Their goal is to foster understanding and practice of gender roles rooted in their interpretation of biblical teachings, often influencing churches, seminaries, and Christian thought on marriage, family, and church leadership.
