About This Issue
Generations
Many women say (with pride), "This isn't your mother's PW!" And yet, PW at any leel wouldn't be what it is (or the daughters who they are) without the mothers of PW.
This issue of Horizons celebrates the women who came before us—their dedication to our communities, passion for social justice, concern for those in need and faithfulness that spanned generations. Thank you for giving us an organization we're proud to call our own!
Horizons is the magazine of Presbyterian Women. It is planned and designed for individuals and PW circles, newcomers and longtime participants in the organization. You'll notice resources are scattered throughout the magazine—in sidebars, boxes and sometimes entire articles—because Presbyterian Women is made up of leaders, both current leaders and women with leadership potential. Participants in Presbyterian Women are also active—in their congregation, community and world—so we work to include ways you can respond to what you read in Horizons.
The purpose of Horizons magazine is the same as the purpose of our publisher, Presbyterian Women:
Forgiven and freed by God in Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit we commit ourselves:
- to nurture our faith through prayer and
Bible study - to support the mission of the church worldwide
- to work for justice and peace
- to build an inclusive, caring community of women that strengthens the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and witnesses to the promise of God's kingdom
