WORLD DAY of PRAYER
Friday week ago the Anglican Women hosted the World Day of Prayer. This was a day when all congregations around the world join in ecumenical prayer.
The brochure was prepared by the women of Slovenia, which is a small European country bordered by Italy, Austria, Hungary and the Adriatic Sea. It came into being in June 1991 on the breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Slovenia is famed for its rare and endangered species, and its many birds and wild animals that live in its mountains and forests, which cover 60 percent of the land. The land area of Slovenia is smaller than a third the size of Tasmania, while its population is around two million.
Included in the service was the stories of four Slovenian women and the trials they face. Next year the service will be prepared by the women of Zimbabwe and hosted by the women of the Catholic Church.
