The document is a description of a women's ministry mini-conference on sacred femininity. It explores God's design for women, their roles, and how Christianity calls women to restore creation by fulfilling their purpose. The conference discusses how scripture shows men and women have different but equal roles, with men exemplifying God's headship through leadership and women representing God as helpers who affirm and nurture strength in others.

Redemption
“Christian redemption does not redefine creation; it
restores creation” (Piper/Grudem).
“Humankind, which has botched its original mandate and
the whole creation along with it, is given another
chance in Christ; we are reinstated as God’s
managers on earth. The original good creation is to
be restored” (Albert Wolters).
