Mothers' Union branch opens in Baghdad

Amid the turmoil of life today in Iraq there is good news from the Mothers’ Union. A branch of the MU has been inaugurated in the international zone of Baghdad.

Canon Andrew White inaugurated the branch on Holy Saturday and said “As well as celebrating the resurrection of Jesus this Easter, we are also celebrating the wonderful international work of the Mothers’ Union by launching our first MU branch in Iraq”

Already, the Baghdad branch has nearly a hundred members and is very enthusiastic.  Five hundred pounds per month is being given by the MU to fund activities. They hope to have at least one meeting a month and are planning a mothering course.

Primrose Gallimore, the Mothers’ Union president for our Diocese, has asked for all Christians to join with MU members in praying for the new branch, opened in such a difficult area of the world.
