Women comprise the major portion of the volunteers in the church.
This has always been the case. Their program also included lectures on education or issues of public life, social events for lonely people, or outings. Bible studies, devotions, and worship services were the elements that linked the women together. In September 1999 the Women's Auxiliary in Germany will celebrate their one hundredth birthday in Berlin together with the German Protestant Women's Association. Public advocacy for the interests of women today also belong to their task.
