What a lovely program and a great start to the CSW - We Will Never Ever Lose Our Way! It was a combination of story telling and beautiful singing. The stories were from rural women - from Sudan, St. Vincent, Australia, New Guinea, Kosovo, St. Vincent, U.S., Cameroon, Myanmar, Brazil - all the stories were about their own journeys and the work they are doing to make a difference for their communities. Education was a large part of the change they were able to push for. The music by Olympia's Daughters was so perfect - all sung a cappella. They take their name from Olympia Brown, the first female who was ordained by a national denomination-the Universalists. She was also a leading suffragist, a mother, and a business woman. Here are the words from one of the songs -
We will never, ever lose our way
To the well of our memories
And the power of our living flame
It will rise, it will rise again.
