Singleness in Christianity

The topic of singleness is near and dear to my heart as I am a 30-something single Christian woman. I am not serving overseas as a missionary. There seems no paradigm to deal with people like me within our evangelical Christian settings.

Recently I presented a paper entitled "Hope: What singleness can teach the church" at the NW Regional Evangelical Theological Society meeting. I'll use this as a basis for my next series of blog posts.

The more I think about the topic the more I believe it's a fundamental issue that no one seems to address except with extreme and somewhat insane solutions. I hope to offer a balanced approached and a look into the historical reasons we are where we are and practical solutions for now.
