WMU helping launch social ministries network
(BP)—Woman’s Missionary Union is helping launch a network for seminary graduates who majored in Christian social ministries and church social work.
“The purpose of this network is to help re-establish and support the Baptist culture of church social work,” said Wanda Lee, executive director of the Baptist missions auxiliary. “Those who have been called to work in church social ministries will be affirmed and encouraged as they connect with others who share their passion for service.”
In partnership with Baptist educational institutions such as Baylor University, the Church Social Work Network will provide social workers with opportunities for continuing education credit, conferences, professional development and networking, fellowship and reunions.
To become part of the new network, send an e-mail to churchsocialwork@wmu.org. For specific questions, contact Diana Garland, chair of Baylor University’s School of Social Work at (254) 710-6223 or (877) 445-0102, toll-free.
