International Anglican Women's Network

The Anglican Consultative Council has a number of networks one of which is the International Anglican Women's Network. It operates on three levels, one with a Steering Group from 8 geographic areas, another with one Link woman from each of the 38 ecclesiastical provinces appointed by her Primate, and a few units operating nationally to support this work. In
Canada we have all three which is very unique. Canon Alice Medcof serves on the Steering Group, Elizabeth Loweth is the appointed Link for Canada and also serves as the coordinator for the unit operating here.

The focal points for the IAWN-Canada include the Millennium Development Goals, the UN Commission on the Status of Women, and the Anglican Consultative Council resolution 13/31 seeking gender equality in policy making within the Anglican Communion.

The annual meeting for the IAWN-Canada will be held Monday, Nov. 5, at the national office 80 Hayden St. in the board room from 11 to 1. It should be a great opportunity for students and faculty to hear about the work of this network and to talk with some of the bishops and national staff who will meet with us.

No registration is needed, but it would help to know how many are coming so we can plan refreshments. Please come and if you are able to phone ahead of time, call:
