Mothers’ Union
Mothers’ Union is an organization of over 3.6 million women and men living in over 78 countries who believe in the importance of families. As well as encouraging and supporting families and marriage, members work to reach out as God’s family to those who are isolated, in trouble, or in need of help. Through fellowship programmes, policy and prayer, MU members around the world change lives and bring Christ’s hope.
Our aim and purpose is to demonstrate the Christian faith in action by the transformation of communities worldwide Trough the nurture of family in its many forms. Mothers’ Union members do this by working towards five objectives:
- 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.
