SEGO SA MEETSE ‘Sego sa Meetse’ The charge of Faith in Action Welcome to the first edition of Sego sa Meetse – the official newsletter of HOPE AFRICA. In his Charge to the Anglican Community gathered for his installation the Archbishop of Cape Town used Sego sa INSIDE Meetse as a theme to send the message of service to the community. He said “I chose the Sepedi phrase “sego sa meetse” as my theme. Simply put, sego is a vessel and meetse is water. Yet the two also have deeper meaning, just as living water, the Holy Spirit, does in John’s gospel. Sego sa Meetse not only provides drink for the thirsty; it also transforms various ingredients into sustaining nourishment; and H.O.P.E having done so, it provides thlabego, the yeast, which catalyses the next meal to come.” The Archbishop continued: “In today’s gospel passage, dramatised so powerfully, we heard how the disciples were sent to be channels of peace, channels of the breath – the Spirit – of God and of his forgiveness. Christ said to them “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” In the same way, we, the baptized, the new body of Christ, are called through the Spirit of God to be 2 channels or vessels, sego, of that same peace and forgiveness which we have received.” This newsletter intends to live up to the Archbishop’s Charge and be the channel of Hope Africa’s work to the community.

The library consisted of books, pamphlets, periodicals and manuscripts. This Guide only contains the descriptions of the manuscript material (covering the period between 1835 to the present). The other categories are listed separately. The Anglican manuscripts were initially described in Section 2 of the University Library's Guide to the Archives and Papers which ran through three editions between 1967-1975 and a Cumulative Supplement 1975-1979. With the growth of the church’s collection of manuscripts, it became more manageable to publish a separate guide to it. This edition of the Guide to the Archives of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa lists all Anglican Church collections described in previous guides, together with all accessions between 2000 and 2006. Arrangement of the entries is by accession order to facilitate future updatings of the Guide.

Going in with my own pre-conceived ideas of the organisation it was indeed a humbling experience spending many hours in interviews and church services in the company of the women who make up the Mother‘s Union. Without the guidance, patience and encouragement from my supervisor, Prof Maria Frahm-Arp, none of this would have been possible.
