Collection Description

Historical Note

The World federation of Methodist and Uniting Church Women (formerly World Federation of Methodist Women) was founded in 1939 with the express goal to connect Christian women around the globe and work toward a “Christian World Order.” With the emblem of the Tree of Life, the organization emphasizes education, evangelism, healthcare, family, and world peace. In 1954, the World Federation affiliated with the World Methodist Council. WFUMCW has grown to every continent and received a non-governmental organization status from the United Nations. The Area and Unit Officers co-ordinate programs and provide a global network for sharing information on program activities. The organization’s main purpose is to be a catalyst in the lives and faith of Christian women.
