But, Ang, we had a talk from a great French guy today, a Gideon, and he said that men of the church, or couples, could become Gideons. I've just checked that up on the international website (in case it was a mistake in my French) and it appears that it is indeed for business men and their wives. Ummm. Am I missing something? Where are the dangerous women in the Gideons?
I didn't realise COUPLES could join - I always thought it was a men-only outfit?
We need to check this further. I suspect that 'dangerous women' like you and I would not be eligible, Floss - although you might sneak in behind your OH.

Nice women don't change the world- loving that! Bit shocked at the Gideon thing.
