On the 16th of September, at 8:00am and then 7:00pm UK time, three of the Anglican Communion networks are coming together with the Mothers’ Union to co-sponsor an online time of prayer in honour of the MU 150th. The event is provisionally titled: “150 Years of Faith, Online prayer gathering in honor of the Mothers’ Union:  supporting justice, peace, women, and families”.

The programme will feature four recorded talks as well as live prayers: there will be a talk on the MU’s work with women by Worldwide President Kathleen Snow; a talk on the MU’s work on families by Revd Christine Mbona (DP for Cyprus and the Gulf); a talk on the MU and peace by Sue Claydon, Chair, Anglican Pacifist Network; Secretary, Anglican Peace and Justice Network (England); and a talk on the MU and justice (speaker tbc).

Different people will do the prayers depending on time zones: for the family network, the 8am prayers will be written and read by Dorothy Siep, an MU Zonal trustee from PNG (we hope! Her internet connection is often intermittent, so we do have a back-up), and the 7:00pm ones by Valerie West, Provincial President for the West Indies.

This should be a wonderful time to come together with people from around the world to pray for the MU! Registration links are below.

With all best wishes,
