As an international organisation, active in 78 countries, Mothers’ Union links are Worldwide. The Diocese of Ripon and Leeds is linked with Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia; Namirembe, Mukono and Luwero in Uganda; and Wusasa and Gwagwalada in Nigeria.
We have active two-way links, in correspondence and occasional visits which have enhanced our understanding of each other, but our main link is through prayer. Every member has a particular time to pray for our links, at Midday each day, and during the Wave of Prayer (between June 26th and June 30th) when groups arrange to meet together or pray at home with information as available, to focus on the needs of our sisters overseas.
The arrows on the map below show the links from our Diocese to Nigeria, Uganda and Australia (from left to right). For more detailed information on our Link Dioceses please click the map or select 'Links - more info' from the navigation pane on the left.
