Bradford North Circuit

Ladies of the Bradford North Circuit, welcome to an introduction to MWiB! Methodist Women in Britain is a movement within the Methodist Church, which seeks to resource individual women and women's groups in a variety of ways. It came into being in July 2011, formed through the coming together of Women's Network and other women's meetings within Methodism. MWiB is more than a meeting. Many women may feel that it is not for them, because they do not already attend a women's meeting. The movement is there for ALL women in Methodism. There are opportunities for meetings within circuits, and at District and Connexional levels, which are all held on a regular basis. MWiB seeks to offer a broader menu for women today. There are many opportunities to meet locally, nationally and internationally. Resources are available for individuals to use at home, at work or within their families. MWiB is very active nationally; details of events can be found in the Methodist R...

(A study day held by Methodist Women in Britain on 27th April 2016) I went to this meeting thinking that I should learn more about this subject, as our churches need to be aware of the problem, in order to do what they can to support members with this condition, and their carers.   As we were having coffee before the meeting started, my neighbour said that one of the speakers had been to her church and congratulated her on being a dementia friendly church; the reason being that the toilet seats were the right colour. I was intrigued. All of us will know someone, who either has dementia or who cares for someone who does. With our ageing population, both outside and inside the church, this will be something that we shall have to cope with for many years to come. The love that we have one...

"Crossing the Chasm" Annual Conference 12-14 April 2013 The Hayes Conference Centre, Swanwick, Derbyshire This annual conference, formerly organised by Network, now MWiB, offers an excellent introduction to engagement with MWiB to women leaders in many areas of church life, particularly to those interested in creative spirituality and global social justice, in areas that affect women. Our District’s MWiB group is keen to attract younger women be they under 50 or under 25 to consider this for the first time, and they are offering bursaries to help with the cost for such people.  They have been in touch with the 3Generate age group, and the current Youth President, Hayley Moss, but would also be grateful if you could think about possible women who would benefit.

Many women seem to feel that Methodist Women in Britain (MWiB) is not for them because they do not attend a women’s meeting. MWiB is a movement that is there for all women. There are opportunities for meetings in some Circuits, the District and at Connexional level but going to one is not dependent on ‘belonging’ to another. Pick up one of the leaflets or go onto the website mwib.org.uk and see what is on offer in the way of opportunities for learning, worship and other resources.
