Agendum 1 - First Agenda Book Page 7 Proposed by the Bishop of Kimberley and Kuruman Seconded by the Bishop of George MEASURE TO AMEND CANON 1.2(d) (Of representation of the AWF and MU) THE PRINCIPLES Whereas: A. It has been recognised by Provincial Synod that the Mother’s Union and the Anglican Women’s Fellowship should be represented by their Provincial Presidents or Vice- Presidents; B. The basis of the representation of these bodies is Provincial and not Diocesan; C. The present provisions for the election of representatives of the Mother’s Union and Anglican Women’s Fellowship to Provincial Synods could lead to their not being elected by default. 5 THE PROPOSALS Be it enacted that: Section 2(d) of Canon 1 be deleted and substituted by the following : “The Provincial President or in her absence her deputy, of the Mothers’ Union and of the Anglican Women’s’ Fellowship shall be members of Provincial Synod, together with the Provincial Worker of the Mothers’ Union. 5.1 Debate was entered into. 5.2 The Provincial Registrar, Mr M Hales, proposed that there should be an amendment which would be better dealt with by the Committee of Synod. 5.3 There being no further debate the Principles were put and carried. 5.4 Agendum 1 was set down as the first business of committee on Tuesday night. 6. Agendum 2 - First Agenda Book Pages 7-8 Proposed by the Archbishop Seconded by the Bishop of The Highveld. MEASURE TO AMEND CANON 2 (Of the Metropolitan) THE PRINCIPLES Whereas: A. Over the last 18 months discussions have taken place with the Overseas Bishoprics Fund (OBF) to transfer ownership of Bishopscourt to a Trust Board that meets the requirements of the OBF, in the light of: • the high cost of maintenance, • the money spent over the years by the CPSA, • the little financial support from the OBF, and • ownership of a property closely linked to the CPSA by an outside agency. B. The OBF is willing to transfer the property once the complicated legal process can be resolved and allow for Bishopscourt to become a wholly owned property of a Tmst within the CPSA. 6 C. The original purchase of the property by the Colonial Bishoprics Fund was for the "Bishop of Cape Town and his successors" nowhere in the Canons and Constitution of the CPSA is it recorded that Bishopscourt is to be the residence of the Archbishop of Cape Town, and it is necessary to crrect this omission not only to preserve the strong historical links that the CPSA and Bishopscourt have, but also as a requirement by the OBF in order to transfer the property to a Trust within the CPSA. THE PROPOSALS Be it enacted that: A new section 1 be added reading: “The Archbishop of Cape Town shall be the Metropolitan of the Church of the Province of Southern Africa, with his seat and residence at Bishopscourt in the Diocese of Cape Town".

  • Faith in the Real World Pastoral Letter from the Synod of Bishops 25Th February 2017 Dear People of God, We Greet You in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ
    1 Pastoral Letter from Synod of Bishops – February 2017 Faith in the Real World Pastoral Letter from the Synod of Bishops 25th February 2017 Dear People of God, We greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. As Bishops of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa (ACSA), we met in Synod in Benoni from Monday 20th until Saturday 25th February 2017. The full bench of Bishops was present, including: Those from all the countries that make up our Province of the Anglican Communion – St Helena, Angola, Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland, Mozambique and South Africa; Those who were Consecrated Bishop on Saturday 25th February – Rt Revd William Mostert, Bishop of Christ the King (southern Gauteng) and Rt Revd Vicente Msosa, Bishop of Niassa (northern Mozambique). As always our meeting took place in a framework of worship and warm fellowship as we shared our lives and worked on issues facing the church and our communities. At our opening Eucharist we heard the words of Jesus, “All things can be done for the one who believes!” (Mark 9:23) and the response, “I believe; help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24). We met as church leaders and people of faith who are deeply aware of the challenges facing our churches and communities and the desperate need for leadership of the highest quality. Most of our time this week was devoted to receiving training in the basics of Economics and Management, and reflecting on how God is calling us to exercise leadership in today’s economic climate. We were ably led by Prof Martin Büscher (Institute for Diaconic Science and Diaconic Management (IDM), Protestant University of Wuppertal/Bethel, Germany) and Dr Bright Mawudor (Deputy General Secretary of the All Africa Conference of Churches).

  • An Anglican Parish in Transformation: the History of St. Margaret's, Parow
    An Anglican Parish in Transformation: The History of St. Margaret’s, Parow, 1942 - 1995 by Tessa Dawn Davids Dissertation presented for the degree of Masters of History at Stellenbosch University Department of History Promoter: Prof. Albert Grundlingh Date: March 2013 0 | P a g e Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that the reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe on any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Signature: Date: October 2012 Copyright © Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 | P a g e Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study is an historical analysis of the History of St. Margaret’s Anglican Parish, situated in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town. While documenting the history of the parish since its establishment in 1942, it also critically examines its response to the socio-political changes the country was going through such as the Group Areas Act and in so doing, determines the extent of its own transformation. St. Margaret’s was not the first Anglican parish in Parow. An Anglican presence existed in Parow since 1900 with St. John the Baptist being the first parish along with an Anglican primary school, namely Glen Lily. The Anglican parishes of Parow were profoundly affected by apartheid, especially the Group Areas Act which completely changed the landscape of the town and the roles of the parishes.

  • The Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew & Saint Michael
    June, July, August, September, October 2016 Edition The Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew & Saint Michael Bloemfontein Thank you, loving Lord, for all the grace and mercy received here over 150 years; for the prayers answered, the blessings received, the healing of both mind, body and spirit. Continue to go before us as we try to seek to do Your will in the world. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen th The 150 Celebration. Dear friends in Christ, A.M.D.G. = (To the glory of God). These are the words we find written on the foundation stone of the Cathedral, which was laid on 25 November 1850 by Major Warden, in the presence of the Archdeacon Merriman who had walked all the way from Grahamstown and back again; a distance of 800 miles; in order to attend this important day in the early stage of this Cathedral Church. And only on 30th November 1866 was the church consecrated. As we celebrate this milestone in the life of the Cathedral, we give thanks to God for our forebears who laid a firm foundation. Many of them have since been called to a higher service. I strongly believe that as we celebrate 150 years, they form part of the cloud of witnesses who are celebrating with us and forming us in truth. We also say thank you to all devout, loyal and committed members of this parish church. Over 150 years God has always been at the centre of our worship in this house of God.
