Why Sister-Care?
Women have always cared for others – from the days of the Red Tent in biblical times when women gathered together and cared for each during their monthly cycles, to childbirth, quilting circles, mothers and daughters, sisters and friends sharing wherever women meet. Sister-Care addresses the question of how we can care for each other in the church in the context of our lives today. |
