More about Women’s Concerns

From Women’s Concerns:

“Women’s Concerns is a publication prepared three times a year by the Division of Mission in Canada of The United Church of Canada. It keeps women in touch with each other, as well as keeping us aware of issues that affect our lives. One of its purposes is to provide an opportunity to share experiences as you grow and struggle on your spiritual journey to wholeness in Christ.”

Launched in 1978, the magazine explored a wide range of issues from a Christian feminist perspective. As one letter writer commented, “I am a feminist who is trying to see where traditional organized religion can fit into my life and I believe that your publication can clarify some concerns I have.” Another put it this way, “Your Newsletter is always a breath of fresh air to Christian feminists”.
