  • Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1St October - 31St December
    Diocesan Prayer Cycle 1st October - 31st December What is a Diocese and how do we work together within it? At its simplest, a Diocese is a geographical area; a region; a collection of parishes, benefices, deaneries, archdeaconries. But it is more than that – it is a gathering of all our communities in mutual support for each other. And as the Diocese of Winchester, we each play our part in the growth of God’s Kingdom committed to our vision of ‘living the mission of Jesus’. This prayer diary helps us to get to know each other better, to find out what is happening across the area and to see how God is working and using us all in his mission across the region. The early church shared good news of what was happening across a wide area, as churches grew, and more people came to know Christ. In their commitment to love and care for one another, prayer lay at the heart of their lives. As we use this Prayer Diary, let’s seek to share that love and care for each other and to rejoice in what God is doing amongst us. This month... how might you pray for young people? For example, you might focus on school leavers, students, youth workers, community centres, young people in trouble... How might you be part of the answer to your prayers? For example, you might make a point of smiling at young people in the street; volunteer for a helpline; get involved with your local Further Education College; support parents you know whose young adult children are struggling..

  • The Authoritarian Turn in Tanzania
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UCL Discovery The Authoritarian Turn in Tanzania Dan Paget is a PhD candidate at the University of Oxford, where he is writing his thesis on election campaigning in sub-Saharan Africa, and in particular the uses of the rally. While living in Tanzania in 2015, he witnessed the general election campaign and the beginning of Magufuli’s presidency first-hand. Abstract Since 2015, Tanzania has taken a severe authoritarian turn, accompanied by rising civil disobedience. In the process, it has become a focal point in debates about development and dictatorship. This article unpicks what is happening in contemporary Tanzania. It contends that Tanzania is beset by a struggle over its democratic institutions, which is rooted in rising party system competition. However, this struggle is altered by past experience in Zanzibar. The lessons that both government and opposition have drawn from Zanzibar make the struggle in mainland Tanzania more authoritarian still. These dynamics amount to a new party system trajectory in Tanzania Dan Paget 2 The Tanzanian general election of 2015 seemed like a moment of great democratic promise. Opposition parties formed a pre-electoral coalition, which held. They were joined by a string of high-profile defectors from the ruling CCM (Chama cha Mapinduzi, or the Party of the Revolution). The defector-in-chief, Edward Lowassa, became the opposition coalition’s presidential candidate and he won 40 per cent of the vote, the strongest showing that an opposition candidate has ever achieved in Tanzania.

  • Consultation Hosted with the Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa Nairobi
    Consultation Hosted with the Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa Nairobi April 11 – 15th 2011 1. The Anglican Alliance Nairobi consultation – turning the vision into reality A big debt of gratitude is owed to the Canon Grace Kaiso, General Secretary of the Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa for inviting the first regional consultation for the Anglican Alliance to be held in Nairobi, and agreeing to co-host it. This was the first step in turning the carefully developed vision of the steering group of the Anglican Alliance into reality: agreeing priorities and programmes to bring together the work across development, relief and advocacy across the Anglican Communion. The aim of the conference was to: - Test out the unique data collection tool being developed linked to the website to map out the existing development, relief and advocacy work across the Anglican Communion. - Under the Anglican Alliance’s development pillar, agree the first strands of development work. - Under the Anglican Alliance’s relief pillar, agree the scope of the work, and how to take forward a global strategy. - Under the Anglican Alliance’s advocacy pillar, agree how we would work together across the Anglican Communion, and also agree the priorities for the global strategy. In five days of hard work, expert presentations, careful reflection, much discussion, and a lot of fellowship and enjoyment we achieved our objectives. This report contains a summary of the proceedings. Copies of the presentations are available from the Anglican Alliance office, and will be posted on the website. Now the challenge is to take forward the decisions to the next stage, and ensure that these decisions and strategies drive our mission to create a world free of poverty and injustice.

  • Safeguarding Practices for Intangible Cultural Heritage in Tanzania: National Vs Local
    Safeguarding Practices for Intangible Cultural Heritage in Tanzania: National vs Local Perspectives Richard Nandiga Bigambo A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Ironbridge International Institute for Cultural Heritage School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham 2019 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Nandiga ‘All that I am, I owe that to you’ ABSTRACT Recent decades have seen a growing interest by individuals, government, and international organisations to safeguard Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). Such efforts arose from the perceived impact of globalisation and modernisation towards this form of heritage among different communities in the world. Most of the previous research has focused on why ICH is in danger and ways that can be used to remedy the situation. Few efforts have been directed towards understanding how the local community ‘cultural practitioners’ have traditionally been safeguarding their ICH, and how such knowledge can be integrated into the present-day safeguarding initiatives.
