Fistula Stories announces launch of Multi-Faith Resources!

Fistula Stories, a project of Women’s Ministries at the National Council of the Churches of Christ, USA, will expand its curriculum to include studies of texts from other faiths.  The Curriculum, currently in its second year of distribution, has until now focused on the connections between Christian faith and action, helping Christians to become advocates for an end to obstetric fistula.  Ann Tiemeyer, Program Director for Women’s Ministries at the NCC, believes that the additions of multi-faith perspectives will enrich the study for both Christians and people of other faiths.  “As we join with women from other faiths in the effort to end fistula with this generation, we will all gain new insights,” she says.  “Through a common commitment to justice, we are building on shared ground.”

A new section of www.fistulastories.org features the Multi-Faith materials.  Currently Jewish and Islamic Supplements are available at www.fistulastories.org/multi-faith, with Buddhist, Native American Spirituality, Sikh, and Hindu resources projected for this fall.  The Supplements include text studies and prayers, and can be studied individually or together.
