The Charity Guild of St. John United Church of Christ will
host a program by Carol Webb, a member of the International
Leadership Team of The Grail on Tuesday, March 26 beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of the church.
The Grail is an international movement of women of different
cultures, social backgrounds and generations located in 17
countries. Her work is focused particularly on education,
training and community development in the global south. She has
given workshops and trainings in Brasil, Papua New Guinea,
Portugal, Mocambique, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
About her involvement for almost 40 years, Carol tells us, “The
Grail is an organization committed to building a world of
justice and peace through education and action. We focus our
work particularly on encouraging the full participation of women
in their communities and the world at large. At the heart of
Grails life is our spirituality and search for a deeper
understanding of God and God’s presence in our world.
Acknowledging that we are part of the whole creation, we strive
to live simply and to nurture a culture of care for all the
earth.”
