What is the Mothers' Union?

The Mission Statement

The Mothers' Union is an Christian organisation which promotes the well-being of families worldwide.
We achieve this by:

• Developing prayer & spiritual growth in families
• Studying and reflecting on family life and marriage and their place in society
• Resourcing our members to take practical action to improve conditions for families, both nationally and in the communities in which they live.

The Aim of the Society is
the advancement of the Christian religion in the sphere of marriage and family life.

In furtherance of that Aim our five Objects are:

1. to uphold Christ's teaching on the nature of marriage and to promote its wider understanding;
2. to encourage parents to bring up their children in the faith and life of the Church;
3. to maintain a world-wide fellowship of Christians united in prayer, worship and service;
4. to promote conditions in society favourable to stable family life and the protection of children; and
5. to help those whose family has met with adversity.

 The Mary Sumner Prayer
Written in 1876 by Mothers’ Union founder, Mary Sumner.
 

All this day, O Lord,
let me touch as many lives as possible for thee;
and every life I touch, do thou by thy spirit quicken,
whether through the word I speak,
the prayer I breathe,
or the life I live."
Amen.
