Our ministry is to provide a facility in Scotland to bring the work of the writing country to the notice of all Christians in Scotland that they may, together with Christians throughout the world, understand better the inequalities and injustices suffered particularl y by women. We also want to identify with the writing country and bring a sense of joy and togetherness knowing that in Christ we are sisters and brothers to each other. In our prayer together we exhibit harmony and mutual support through which the writing country, and others along the way will feel a sense of buoyancy, generated by the knowledge that we are together, that they are not alone. Together we work to create pressures in our own society that will bring about change so that we can look forward to justice and harmony for all.
