What is WEAVE?
Women of all ages, the girl child, the lass,
the teenager, adult, retiree, elderly
Ecumenically embracing in fellowship
whatever your race, creed, color, and status may be
Accompanying one another, going together hand in hand,
not ahead, not behind, reaching for a
Vision - the dream we want to be - free, equal
and in partnership with men in God's kingdom
Empowering, affirming, demonstrating,
transforming all of creation for God's reign.
—Dominica Faurillo—
WEAVE is a women's project that facilitates the ecumenical sharing and capacity building among CCA member councils and churches. Through this project there is a sharing and learning together in a sustained way as an ecumenical accompanier lives and works with the more needy member council in another country.
This project is a response to the need of women of the Protestant Church in Timor Lorosae (IPTL) to be organized, develop their leadership capability and build their capacity in organizational work in serving church and community as ecumenical women. The National Council of Churches in the Philippines and CCA EGY have arranged for Dominica Faurillo, lay church worker of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines, to accompany the ecumenical women and also the IPTL from 2008-2009.
