This recording examines the attitudes that negate God’s purpose for marriage often in the form of religious restriction on women in the home, church, and society.

This recording summarizes the "New Creation" theme of the Bible and shows how this is not limited to the future but is inaugurated in the church and transforms Christian relationships. It challenges us to live in light of the new creation, welcoming the transformative work of the Holy Spirit, who gifts both women and men for ministry.
