John United Church of Christ will host a program Tuesday evening, March 26,

The program will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the St. John Fellowship Hall. |
The
Grail is an international movement of women of different
cultures, social backgrounds and generations in 17 countries.
Ms. Webb's work is focused
particularly on education, training and community development in the
global south. She has given workshops and trainings in Brasil, Papua
New Guinea, Portugal, Mocambique, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda and
Tanzania.
About her involvement for almost 40
years, she said: "The Grail is an organization committed to building
a world of justice and peace through education and action. We focus
our work particularly on encouraging the full participation of women
in their communities and the world at large. At the heart of Grail's
life is our spirituality and search for a deeper understanding of
God and God's presence in our world. Acknowledging that we are part
of the whole creation, we strive to live simply and to nurture a
culture of care for all the earth." |
