We are a mission agency of the Anglican Church of Australia and part of the worldwide Mothers’ Union with links to 84 countries and over four million members who share one heartfelt vision - to bring about a world where God's love is shown through prayer and loving, respectful and flourishing relationships.
As you explore our website we hope you will be inspired and encouraged to support the vision and mission of AMUA!
We, the members of AMUA, offer our prayers and love to our Mothers' Union World Patron, The Queen, on the death of her beloved husband, Prince Philip. We mourn his loss with their family, and members of the Commonwealth throughout the world.
Prince Philip's support for Her Majesty through their marriage of over 70 years has been a true blessing from God, and a wonderful example of stability in marriage and family life.
May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

Thought for the Week from AMUA
Sunday 11th April 2021 - Simplicity
‘Less is more’ was a catch cry of design (a phrase adopted in 1947 by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe). 'Tis the gift to be simple,(an old Quaker dancing/way of life song). We are often filled with a longing to caste off the excess ‘stuff’, to end difficult relationships, to move house, in an effort to simplify our lives. We may assume a meeker demeanour, play down our natural talents, shy away from tasks that may put us in the spotlight, in order to be seen as humble and Christian. Simplicity is rather the acceptance of God’s gifts used to glorify our Creator and when we ‘find ourselves in the place just right, 'Twill be in the valley of love and delight’.
O Lord, my heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not raised too high;
I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvellous for me.
But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother;
my soul is like the weaned child that is with me. Psalm 131: 1-2
Mothers’ Union has a deep-rooted and trusted position within communities in Tanzania. This week we pray for those members, both skilled and trained in resource mobilisation, who will encourage and equip those unsure of themselves.
