WHAT’S IN A NAME?<\/strong><\/p>\nMethodist Women in Britain is the British Unit of the World Federation of Methodist & Uniting Church Women. Local church, circuit and district groups go by many different names, but all these groups are affiliated to the umbrella organisation of MWiB in that they are represented through their Area Trustee, can receive our mailings and contribute financially to the work of the organisation when possible.<\/p>\n
