racism against immigrants. The Methodist Church of Great Britain combats this racism and
champions immigrant rights. As this article shows, it's a battle. But, it's
one the Church feels is very necessary.

Federation of Methodist and Uniting Church Women chose "Women and Literacy"
for the 1997 program and study. This letter contains a worship service to
raise awareness about this issue.
