    Such a Disappointment!

    All the members were looking forward to it. The special Interim Committee had laboured over crossing the t's and dotting the i's, but there was one hurdle they just couldn’t quite jump over—expensive airfares! Australian Church Women (ACW) wanted to host the 1986 Assembly of the Asian Church Women’s Conference (ACWC), and they had worked closely with Eunice Kim, the ACWC Executive Secretary, to plan this event.

    A Progress Report

    On 11 February 2021, Australian Church Women (ACW) celebrates 56 years since this wonderful organisation was inaugurated. Many changes have taken place over these years within both the organisation and society. One change that has had an impact on the membership of Australian Church Women was the rise in mothers returning to the ‘paid’ workforce, particularly in recent years.
