- Amazing women § i £ = a ani LL (From page 1) children and infants of those murdered were put up for adoption, and now there are grandmothers demanding that those childrren Le returned to them. - "These women are vulnerable. They don't have too much going for them except their courage and perserverance,' stated Dr. Wilson, She called these women '"'amaz- ing" in their struggle to undermine the un-just systems. Dr. Wilson related the story from Scriptures of the woman who talk- ed back to Jesus. This woman, an outsider with a sick child, had come to see Jesus and refused to be sent away, even when the Disciples urg- ed Jesus to do so. "This woman did not allow herself to be pushed away. She was not sub- missive or tactful. She was ag- gressive even pushy," sai Dr Wilson, adding that for modern women teday, 'sometimes humili- ty and tact may not be in order." Dr. Wilson, a mother. of four children and grandmother of three, is presently the co-director of the Ecumenical Forum of-Canada, and is one of the seven presidents of the World Council of Churches in Geneva. '. . . On two occasions, she has attend ed special United Nations Sessions on Disarmament as the represen- tative for Project Ploughshares. Prior to her address at the Seagrave United Church, Dr. Wilson was presented with a cheque by UCW treasurer Gertrude Wanamaker. The money will be us- ed for the Rural Development Fund of the World Council of Churches.
