[Anglican Communion News Service] Mothers’ Union celebrated 150 years of faith, service and transformation with a special anniversary service at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, England. More than 1,500 members, senior church leaders, supporters and partners from the Anglican Communion and charity sector participated in the service. The June 10 service celebrated a movement that’s grown from a small parish initiative to a global Christian organization with 4 million members in more than 80 countries. It also marked the beginning of Mother’s Union’s next chapter as the organization continues to grow its impact across the Anglican Communion and beyond. Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally, a Mothers’ Union member, preached.
