He said that although he grew up near the home of Adelaide Hunter Hoodless, founder of the Women’s Institute, he admitted that he knew very little about the organization. From 1897 Adelaide devoted her life to the cause of improving the educational resources to assist women in the roles as mothers and as household manager. Women's issues have changed quite a bit over 100 years, he said. The more traditional role of father being the sold breadwinner and mother being cook, cleaner and nurturer of children has shifted somewhat. The Bible reflects the ideals of a patriarchal society. Men are dominant and were served. Women were the servers and subservient. Rev. Banks said, when he hears the hymn, Faith of our Fathers he asks himself "What about faith of our mothers?" His experience of the church is it wouldn't exist if not for the dedication and hard work of women who cater, serve, wash dishes, bake and quilt. When he sees a handful of the thousands of UCW members and a small group of the millions who make up the ACWW at work, both locally and globally, he sees people fulfilling the mandate to love in need and in action as well as in words. Thank God, he said, for men and women who give of themselves to promote friendship, peace, and love of God in the community and throughout all of God's world. p Special Everything is grown greenhouses from seed or cuttings.
