Administrative History Church Women United in Illinois (CWUI) is the state chapter of the national organization, Church Women United (CWU). Formed in 1941, CWU is an ecumenical movement of interdenominational Christian women from diverse racial, ethnic, age, and economic backgrounds. The fundamental purpose of CWU is to bring Christian women together, united in their faith, to work towards the betterment of the community and the development of women s full potential in society. CWUI originated in 1931 as the Illinois Council of Federated Church Women. The non-profit organization changed its name to the Illinois Council of Church Women in 1936, and then to the United Council of Church Women in In 1956, it was renamed United Church Women, and officially became Church Women United in Illinois in 1967 and affiliated with CWU. CWUI is divided into approximately 110 local units throughout the state. Each local unit has its own officers and committees, which join together annually at the State Assembly along with the organization s state officers and board members. CWUI members take part in ecumenical assemblies, area institutes and regional events for the Midwest. In conjunction with CWU, CWUI also participates in various annual activities, such as World Day of Prayer, May Fellowship Day, World Community Day, and Fellowship of the Least Coin. The focus of CWUI and the local units reflects the issues that CWU takes up on a national scale. For instance, CWU and state chapters have focused on women in poverty, race relations, and health care reform. CWU and CWUI support other organizations, such as the National Farm Worker Ministry, the United Nations, and Women in Community Service. CWU publishes The Churchwoman, and CWUI publishes its own quarterly state newsletter, The Illinois Interpreter. In 1983 CWUI started a mission to raise money to build a chapel at Dwight Correctional Center, the only women s prison in Illinois without a chapel. After a decade of fundraising, the chapel was CWUI, pg. 1

CWU, established in 1941, is a volunteer interdenominational Christian women s movement comprised of women in the United States and Puerto Rico that works for peace and social justice. The Illinois state chapter began in 1931 as the Illinois Council of Federated Church Women and underwent several name changes: Illinois Council of Church Women (1936), United Council of Church Women (1941), and United Church Women (1956). In 1967, it became formally affiliated with Church Women United and changed its name to Church Women United in Illinois. CWUI was part of the East Central region and was divided into nine state areas with approximately 110 local chapters at the height of its membership. The state level organization consisted of elected officers and board members and functioned as a conduit between the local units and the national organization, channeling information, financial assistance, and support. CWUI members attended state and national assemblies, area institutes, and regional events to learn about social policy as well as set overall directions and priorities for the organization and its campaigns. CWUI also conducted local observations of the CWU ecumenical celebrations such as World Day of Prayer, May Fellowship Day, and World Community Day.
