Lent Study: 40 days to End Violence Against Women

Submitted by Rosie on Mon, 15/02/2010 - 6:03pm.

The wonderful folk from the European Regional Committee of WSCF (global network of SCMs) have drawn my attention to this Lent study:

A WCC, WSCF and YWCA Lenten Study
Cries of Anguish, Stories of Hope: A Lenten study on the Worldwide Struggle to eliminate violence against women. This study features weekly videos of inspirational women around the world. There are also Bible Studies, Prayers and a place for a discussion.

Cries of Anguish, Stories of Hope

If you'd like to join in with the study then you can read reflections on the website and join in the discussions on Facebook.
