The first juvenile court was established in Illinois in 1899. Reformers of this era advocated for such changes out of a belief that children have less developed moral and cognitive capacities than adults and that they deserve special consideration and protection.

  • Community Building Ideas for United Methodist Women 

    United Methodist Women’s meetings often begin with community building. With this activity women get settled in a meeting, hear from each other in a semi-structured way, and are affirmed in their experience away from the meeting. There are many ways to design a community building activity; however the following guidelines might be helpful. Use your imagination and enjoy encouraging supportive community in this way.
