WHO WE ARE
Spirit Weavers is a Christ-centred group, promoting women’s spirituality, unity, journeying and connection, including inter-faith and cross-cultural exchanges. Our aims include spiritual growth, learning together, friendship, connecting, community building, challenging ourselves and others, guiding our journey, praying and celebrating.
Spirit Weavers was officially established in November 2020. It will continue the work begun by CACW in the Diocese in 2003 following the recommendations of the Woman and Man: One in Christ Jesus research project “to ensure the dignity of women is honoured and their gifts are given space to flourish for the sake of the Church’s life and mission (ACBC 2017)”.
