No, not Mary, Jesus' Mother, but the founder of the Mothers' Union, Mary Sumner's Angels. The Victorian State Conference of MU Australia was held recently at Melbourne University. The closing service in Trinity College Chapel with Archbishop Peter Watson presiding was one of joy as was all of the worship during the Conference. Conference Chaplain, the Rev'd Wendy Pullin introduced participants to angels and the important role they have in bringing the message of consolation and joy, and assurance of God's protection and care. Wendy spoke of how important it is to have a holy place and of the need to praise and worship God. The theme of the Conference was 'Outreaching Together' and Elizabeth Appleby (General Trustee of Worldwide Mothers' Union) was the keynote speaker reminding participants of that part of MU's core business which deals with marriage. The title of her talk 'Barefoot, Pregnant and in the Kitchen &endash; Does marriage have a future?' dealt with changes that have occurred in society. Australian Caritas LeaderMU members can play a part by sharing their vision of happy marriage and family life. The MU Aim is the advancement of the Christian religion in the sphere of marriage and family life Every diocese in Victoria was represented at the Conference. MU Australia encompasses many different groups including Mothers' Union and Caritas members. Caritas which are 'Friendship in action' groups, celebrates 20 years this year and a special liturgy was prepared and led by Australian Caritas Leader, Louise Lang from Cressy. |
