The IAWM stand is quite a good idea.  Women have opportunity to see other Christian women.  It encourages women to have a unity of purpose.  The assembly in general has given opportunity to assess myself and place my intelligence.  More exposure to understanding Christian theology.  I pray for more success in the life of WCC.

The vision for women must be: ‘Everything is Possible for Women” – no ceiling – no limit – but the open heart and the open heaven is the center of our aims.

I was ordained 1984 in the Baptist Union, Sweden.  It was never (or seldom) a special issue being female pastor in my denomination at my time – it was a good tradition in where we elected the first female church-leader (general secretary, bishop, what you call it) in the same year as my ordination, 1984.  2003-2011 I was the church leader, now general secretary for the Christian Council of Churches.  A good idea would be to give information to pastor seminaries about this network.  As time passed, I realized that even if it hadn’t been very special for me being ordained, that’s not the situation in other denominations or in other countries.  So even if I was ok, it was a matter for others, that means it a matter for me!  Good luck!

Dear Friends (female and male), what you are doing here in this stand is so important.  Participating in this assembly has heightened my awareness that women’s place in the world is precarious and fragile.  I have had many opportunities as a woman, and I pray that those who encounter difficulties might find folks like you (?) in their journey.

May God bless you.

It was an amazing experience to share in the WCC experience with other women who are already ordained or who will become ordained. What an honor to have my picture on the wall with the many other women.

A very meaningful project.  Solidarity of women who called to ministry are strengthened through this creative way!  Thanks!

Hi, my name is Jason who is the person in charge of Madang.  I’m just an agent of exhibition, but I have the great impression from your booth, even I’m a man.  Still women are tortured and suffered by violence and discrimination in the world, and I know you’re doing such a great job for them, and I hope your job, you try can change the better.

I am so happy that God brought me here to meet women from different pools of the world engaged in ministry and mission. I have come to know so many sisters in Christ. This was a wonderful gathering in the stall “God calls women” in ministry stall.

Dear Children of God, It was an amazing and feeling of warmth among the other sisters of Christ.  Also knowing about the various services and ministries among the women ministries.  I live in the Middle East but an Indian.  Thank you.
