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.

Talking Points on Torture
A United Methodist Women member wrote to the
Women's Division, asking that the organization take
leadership in addressing the issue of United States-

Women's Division Leaders Appeal to UMW to Speak out Against Torture and "War on Terror"
In this season of Pentecost we are reminded of God's
profound love that brings hope for all humanity. We
recall Christ's commandment, to "love your neighbor as
yourself" (Matthew 22:39). With this love and hope as
our foundation, we are appealing to United Methodist
Women to speak out against the United States
government's use of torture in the "war on terror."
