Even as Church Women United was being founded in December 1941, when women of faith representing 70 denominations convened in Atlantic City, the U.S. was in an uproar over the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
CWU's Declaration on the National Crisis, issued December 13, 1941, was a remarkable expression of faith and caring in time of war, looking forward to the establishment of a world order of justice, love and peace. CWU has consistently called for conflicts to be settled by negotiation, stressing an opposition to the use of force, and calling for disarmament.
In the current War on Terror, our country and its allies need to pursue justice through diplomatic and international policing to track down terrorists. However, as Tiffany L. Heath, CWU Legislative Director writes, "the most essential role for the U.S. is to aid the entire Middle East in crafting policies to promote human rights, international law and sustainable development, rather than policies that promote weapon stockpiling, dictatorial governments, and sanctions that hurt only the citizens and not the intended government target."
Since 1941, the women of Church Women United have held a vision of Christian unity through prayer and action. These two are inseparable, and both have immeasurable influence in the world.
