Responsively Yours: Faithful Women Past and Present November Response Magazine
My grandmothers lived in Nebraska. One was a
pastor=s wife and the other a farmer=s wife. Both
were members of the Evangelical Church and active
in the Woman=s Missionary Society. The
Evangelical Church flowed through various mergers
and unions into The United Methodist Church. The
Woman=s Missionary Society is one of the
predecessor organizations of United Methodist
Women.

From the Editor: Our Grandmothers United Methodist Women November Response Magazine
Each time I hear the stories of foremothers
willing to give precious time and pennies to send
the first women missionaries to Asia and Africa,
when I study the lives of deaconesses who
courageously bucked societal -- and sometimes
church -- norms to reach out to children in need,
and when I discover some new chapter in our
social-action history as women organized for
mission, I thank God for United Methodist Women
and renew my commitment to be an active member
and promoter of this great organization.
