Church Women United (CWU) is a new interest of mine. A lovely group of Christian, Jewish and Islamic Women united under one God. Our state meeting was about Serving God Together. Several great speakers including Pastor Becky Robbins-Penniman who serves a combination Lutheran and Episcopal congregration. Elizabeth Coleman from "Bread for the World" an advocasy organization and Samar Dahmash Jarrah a Muslim a professor at University of South Florida and others. Principle Presenter was Rev. Dr. Joan Brown Campbell Executive Director of the National Council of Churches and Director of the US Office of the World Council of Churches.
102 were in attendance. A Silent Auction was held as a fund raiser. For two half and one full day this is just a note of the excitement and fellowship we experienced.

That reminded me of a study that was held at St. Michael Lutheran Church in Wellington this past spring on world religions. Pastor Weiss and her congregation organized a panel discussion for the community after the study was completed. She presented the position of Christianity, and an Imam, a Rabbi, and a Hindu leader also participated. It was moderated by a local TV news anchor, and was very enlightening.
