Old Traditions Become New Again
Bible Women, deaconesses, settlement houses,
ministries with immigrant populations—this issue
is full of mission institutions that have helped
people over 100 years of mission history. Some
of the images that the institutions bring to
mind are almost iconic in nature: the black-clad
deaconess, a single woman who lived with other
women in deaconess homes, working with children,
teaching, and leading Sunday school classes—the
Protestant equivalent of the Catholic nun, in
many ways.

Tell Me The Stories: United Methodist Women Past and Present
There's a hymn in the UM Hymnal written by Jane Marshall,
"What Gift Can We Bring". When I think of the words of that
hymn..."Give thanks for the past, for those who had vision,.." I
am reminded of our foremothers who gave birth to a missionary
movement that has grown from a handful of women to a
membership of nearly one million.

Hmong Women Risk To Make Others' Lives Better
The Laos women crossed the Mekong river in small
numbers - much like refugees --leaving their
homeland.
On the other side, they were met by Hmong women
from the United States, who had once been
refugees
themselves. The difference between them -- the
women
from Laos would return to their country after a
few days,
putting themselves at risk to make the lives of
other
women and children better.

Women's Division and United Methodist Women Face The Challenges at General Conference
The challenge was two-fold for United Methodist
Women and the Women’s Division at the General
Conference of The United Methodist Church.
First, the Division brought several petitions
around women’s and children’s issues before the
legislative body with the hope of action and
support from the denomination. Second, the work
of United Methodist Women and the Women’s
Division as a lay women’s organization with
separate funds and members was at risk as
opponents tried to make changes to organizational
structures and funding in subtle ways.
