We participate in the Fellowship of the Least Coin which is a way for women around the world to give to other women in need, to be in communion with our sisters in every country. Those with the least give the same as those with the most. In the United States we give pennies and with each penny we offer a prayer.
By giving the least coin and giving it with a prayer we are reminded of how much can be done with the smallest coin. The symbol we use shows hands crossing the boundaries of poverty, powerlessness, race, religion, color and any other barrier.
This Canadian page gives good info on the Fellowship of the Least Coin.
We were recently reminded in our devotions at the May board meeting that the Fellowship of the Least Coin in celebrating 50 years. Our Spiritual Director Sally Dodgson shared some of the history of FLC with us and reminded us that it is not a fundraiser, but a true act of solidarity and prayer. However the money is collected and distributed to projects around the world.
