The Women of Faith Awards were established in 1986 to honor women in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) who have transformed the church and society through their witness, service and leadership. “Visionary Women transforming the church and society” is the 2008 theme.
Nominations are received
from throughout the church and honorees are selected by a committee
of representatives from groups officially related to the Women's
Ministries Area. Nominations are closed for the 2008 awards.
Awards are presented at the Women of Faith Breakfast during
the General Assembly. This
breakfast is an annual celebration of God's activity
in the lives of women and their response to God's presence. |
