Women's World Day of Prayer

This is the one day of the year when women from all round the world unite to hold a service of praise and thanksgiving and on this occasion they do all sing from the same hymn sheet

 

The annual service for 2010 has been prepared by the women of Cameroon and has a definite African flavour.  The Republic of Cameroon is said to be ‘Africa in miniature’.  It is a country of great cultural diversity with more than 240 ethnic groups and languages.  The constitution promotes equality between men and women but traditional rights and attitudes discriminate against women in many areas of life.  However giant steps have been taken towards assuring women’s rights and women are involved in the struggle for peace, justice and integrity.

 

The women from all the churches in Broadwater are once more demonstrating their solidarity with their brothers and sisters in other countries and are joining  with the rest of the world.

 

All are welcome at  St Mary’s Parish Church in Broadwater at 10am when the speaker will be Reverend Anne Marie Crosse.
