    Reports at Ten Years

    Staying with 1975 this week, we will look at annual reports for three of our Units of Australian Church Women (ACW). What was happening back then in these units just ten years after ACW became a national organisation? These reports were included in the 1975 National Working Documents and presented at the National Committee Meeting (NCM) held in North Adelaide at Lincoln College from 19–22 August. With Fellowship Day coming up in a few weeks, you may be interested in the comme

This included producing publications such as the Circle of Prayer booklet. When I was looking back at the 1972–76 minutes of the ACWC, my eye was caught by an item in the 1973 Working Committee Minutes about the Ci

    ACWC meeting in Adelaide

    In a previous post (https://www.acw.org.au/post/such-a-disappointment), I told of the disappointment that members of Australian Church Women (ACW) experienced when the 1986 Asian Church Women’s Conference (ACWC) could not be held in Australia. The ACW members persisted with their desire to host the ACWC representatives, and they issued another invitation to the ACWC. This time it was for the Executive Committee to hold their 1987 meeting in Adelaide to coincide with the bienn
