Faith Action Form Meeting
March has arrived all too soon, and it is time for us
to meet as the Faith Action Collective to end GBV, which I am excited is
becoming increasingly interfaith – so please invite all those from any faith
that has a vision for ending GBV!
This month, our meeting coincides with the Women’s World Day of Prayer, which
includes prayers of women from all and any Christian denomination anywhere in
the world. We will begin with prayers drawn from the WWDP website which this
year are offered by the women of Palestine.
We have also recently celebrated Interfaith Week. We are reminded that our call
is to avoid arguing about religious dogmas and join hands to become a strong
united faith voice to bring an end to GBV and femicide in our country. So, in
addition to doing further planning for our Strategic Planning Process, we will
learn from a wonderful Hindu organisation that is doing great work, and there
may be opportunities to join hands if we are in the same geographical space.
Finally, we have GREAT NEWS! Our joint work has received a global award, and we
want to celebrate that together at the meeting too. (Sorry, no virtual
cake!)
Here are the details of our meeting:
Call to Unity of Purpose across all faiths and denominations
Women’s World Day of Prayer (WWDP), 1 March 2024: “I beg you, bear with one
another in love” (Eph. 4: 1-6)
We may differ in our religious persuasions but our prayers and actions for
peace and an end to the war on women and children remain united.
