  Welcome to this edition of my web newsletter in a brand new year: 2026   I am delighted to report on our president of the NBCW, Amy having been invited to a Christmas celebration at 10 Downing Street with a number of other voluntary organisations. What an achievement for catholic women and what recognition of the National Board of Catholic Women. I asked Amy about her experience and how we can build on it, so do see the Q&A in this blog.   The NBCW is introducing a new series of Catholic Women Walking with Women with the first webinar on 27 th January, see below.   I’ve included scripture resources and links to the School for Synodality workshops and website.   We start the year off with Christian Unity week and I’ve added a link below for resources.   The Adventurous Accompaniment I’ve postponed to next month. When I will also include some comments and updates on Social Media. Enjoy   Sue _____________________________...
