News From the District

United Methodist Women are awesome. We are on the cutting edge of world affairs as they pertain to women, children and youth.  Leymah Gbowee, one of the three female winners of the Nobel Peace Prize for 2011, was a speaker at the Women's Division Board of Director's meeting on Friday, October 7th in New York.  Ellen Johnson-Sirleafs, one of our own was also a winner. Abigail Disney, producer of Pray the Devil Back to Hell, which featured Leymah Gbowee story, was at the board meeting on Saturday to talk about her new project Women, War and Peace which begins airing on PBS on October 11, 2011. We have much to be proud of, but we also have much to do.
