'Women who made a Difference!'

Celebrating the Contribution of Queensland Baptist Women

 

 Baptist Heritage Queensland (BHQ) is working on a project to celebrate the contribution women have made to the work of Christian witness and service in Queensland and beyond. This initiative will take the form of a publications with the stories of women and a function at which their work can be commemorated. It will cover the whole period of Baptist work in Queensland.
 
 

 Information is being sought about women who have made a significant contribution to Baptist churches in Queensland, other Christian work, missionary work and public life. They can be women who were involved at local church level or through the denomination, as deaconesses and missionaries or in their local areas as professional people like teachers, nurses and doctors or workers in community organizations like the Red Cross, CWA, local government and in other ways. A selection will be made from the names supplied and cameos of their life and ministry will be researched and published.
 
 

 The celebration event will be an occasion when interested people can come and hear the results of the project and listen to some talks and testimonies, and see displays. BHQ would coordinate this and where possible, draw upon the interest, skills and resources of the other groups who have interest and contributions to make.
 
     
 

 Submissions of ideas and offers of help are invited.
 
     
 

 Nominate someone now - email in with the name, location/s, brief outline of life and work and reason why you believe this lady is worth going on the list of 'women who made a difference.'
