We welcome your suggestions for this webpage of any kind of Study.    Please send to webmaster@alabamaecw.org.

As participation in this blog increases, you may see a variety of opinions expressed, some of which may resonate with you and some of which may not.  Such is the case with all serious study; otherwise the potential for growth is limited.  Why do we study, if not to grow in our understanding?  This blog is open to all.  No restrictions on opinions or topics for study have been imposed.  We trust that postings will be made in a thoughtful and respectful manner.  If you feel challenged by something you read here, do not fear.                                                 Remember our Mission Statement: → 

Episcopal Church Women Mission Statement

We are Episcopal Church Women committed to one another and called to be witnesses of Christ.  Our challenge is to provide a safe place where every woman is free to become the person Christ created her to be. 

We are called.  We are different.

We are one body.

From past ECW Speakers:

 

Our 2005 ECW theme (Mary Magdalene) took on a life of its own!

Jan. 24, 2007 from Mary Earle, 2005 Fall Conference Speaker:

I thought you lovely women from Alabama might like to know about this development: because of doing the Mary Magdalene program for your fall gathering in 2005, I ended up presenting a workshop using that material. My colleague Jane Patterson used some of her material as well. That workshop was professionally taped and packaged, and is now available from Viva Books in San Antonio.

In a very true sense, this would not have happened if Olivia had not first invited me to offer that particular program.  Many thanks, Mary
