The Mothers' Union is a Christian
organisation which promotes the well-being of families worldwide.
We achieve this by:
-
developing prayer and spiritual growth in
families,
-
studying and reflecting on family life and
marriage and their place in society,
-
resourcing our members to take practical
action to improve conditions for families, both nationally and in
the communities in which they live.
How did the Mothers' Union
start?
Mary Sumner started the Mothers' Union in England in 1876. As a
vicar's wife, she said that it was a need for good parenting that
inspired her to start a "Union of Mothers". Almost 130 years on,
the Mothers' Union has more than 3.5 million members in 76
countries. Men, women, single and married are now joining the MU in
work - that is sometimes life changing! Around the world, the MU
works to support family life and empowering women in their
communities, be that through passing on skills such as literacy or
campaigning on issues nationally and globally.
Aim & Objectives
The aim of the MU is to strengthen and preserve marriage and family
life through Christianity. In order to carry out this aim, our
objectives are:
-
To uphold Christ's teaching on the
nature of marriage and promote its wider understanding.
-
To encourage parents to bring up their
children in the faith and life of the Church.
-
To maintain a worldwide fellowship of
Christians united in prayer, worship and service.
-
To promote conditions in society
favourable to stable family life and the protection of children.
-
To help those whose family life has met
with adversity

Mothers Union Prayer |

"We thank you for your
love so freely given to us all. We pray for families around the world.
Bless the work of mothers' Union as we seek to share your love through
the encouragement, strengthening and support of marriage and family
life.
Empowered by your
Spirit, may we be united in prayer and worship, and in love and
service reach out as your hands across the world. In Jesus' name.
Amen" |
