26. An Unexpected Blessing
Since, a week earlier, Cecilia was the last person we collected on our journey into Tsabong for the annual conference of the Mothers’ Union, she is the first person to get home. Home is Moshupa, a large village with a population of about 20,000. The afternoon sun is waning as we exit the van to…

Called to extend the church into the frontier of social change

We pray to God that His women may never become a political machine. But we must remember that Jesus taught…

The early morning procession of the flags, where members of the Mothers’ Union carry the standard for the MU branch at their parish through the streets of the host locale, has taken place, as has the closing communion. Chairs in the meeting hall have been stacked, posters removed from the walls, the hiccuping microphone unplugged…

ECW and NetsforLife
At its heart, the NetsforLife campaign to eradicate malaria in sub-Saharan Africa is about the promise of the Episcopal Church to raise up the Millennium Development Goals and use them as a mission orientation.
