The Mothers’ Union branch at Holy Saviour’s was opened in 1931 and currently has 43 members. The members meet twice a month on the 1st Monday and 3rd Thursday at 2pm, but we do have several evening meetings a year to cater for the younger members who work. Our meetings always begin with a short service of worship taken by the members. The aim of the Mothers’ Union is the advancement of the Christian religion in the sphere of marriage and family life, and the M.U. is active in supporting family life in many ways. Our branch are involved in the organisation of the monthly Pram Service in church on the 2nd Monday at 2.30pm which is enjoyed by parents and grandparents as well as children from birth until nursery school age.
Members: 140,000 in this country, one million worldwide, with a particularly strong presence in Africa.
Who they actually are: Active, committed Christians, often highly radical. In Uganda they were the only organisation to defy Amin and survive. The Mothers Union insisted on meeting and even walked through Kampala saying that if Amin chose to shoot them he would be shooting the mothers of the nation. In this country they are more likely to be found running prison creches or campaigning for debt relief for the developing world than handing round teacups at the vicarage.
