QUEENSLAND WOMEN made up two thirds of the Australian delegation to the South Pacific area forum of the World Federation of Methodist and Uniting Church Women in Tonga in late September.
Seven nations were represented as 400 delegates focused on the United Nations’ Millennium Goals.
They particularly considered how women make a difference in achieving those goals.
Uniting Church Adult Fellowship Vice-President Angela Lester of Warwick was impressed with the level of enthusiasm that flowed through UCAF.
“The adult fellowship facilitated the promotion,” said Mrs Lester, “but it flowed much wider.
“32 delegates went from Australia. New Zealand sent almost 50.”
Hosted by Queen Salote College in Nuku’alofa, the forum began with worship during which Tonga’s Queen Mother preached.
