At this time, we are working very hard as a National Board of ECW to be able to include the needs of the young women, the middle generation of women and the older women in the church. The one central need for all of these diversified groups is the need for emotional and spiritual support. Nowhere else in the church can women feel this total support. One of the issues seems to be that some women, who do not care to attend meetings, do not see themselves as Episcopal Church Women. We are trying to reach them with the understanding that they can receive the support of other women in the church without meetings.
Women care for people and for the buildings and accoutrements in the building.
We care about the environment in which we live. But, most important, God is not through with us as an organization. As long as we are listening, God will lead us. Give us the love that we need to carry on. It would seem that for every good man involved in parish life, there are two good women supporting the church.
