With reference to the Bible, to history and present day experience, this workshop will show how a high theology of womanhood has informed and shaped the Salvation Army's ministry through many years and in many countries. Find out how concern for women, respect for women and belief in women in leadership can enhance the spread of the Gospel worldwide.
