08 The Gift of Women in the Church

A panel discussion, led by Andrew Selley, focusing on the value and role of women in the church, and in particular what women can do (within the bounds of Scripture) to play their part in being ministers of the Gospel and building up the Body of Christ. God’s design is for men and women to work alongside each other as a team – fulfilling different roles, but each needing the other to reflect the nature and person of God more fully and accurately.
