  • SWANSONG Malaysia by Philip and Charlotte Swan Jan 4Th—17Th 2016
    Report from visit to the Dioceses of Kuching and West SWANSONG Malaysia by Philip and Charlotte Swan Jan 4th—17th 2016 Archbishop Elect Moon Hing (West Malaysia) is to take over from Archbishop Bolly Lapok (Kuching). We are so thankful for their support, hospitality and inspiration and pray for them in their changing ministries. We are delighted that it looks as though we will be able to re-establish links with Sabah Diocese through their new Bishop, Melter Tais, which means we will be relating to each of the four Dioceses, including Singapore, which together make up the Province of S.E.Asia. I stumbled across a prophetic question in the first volume of the History of the Church Missionary Society, taken from an 1820 Report of a CMS Association. ‘Might not those Islands one day inquire in their Missionary Meetings how the British Church may be revived?’ ‘Those islands’ included the Malay Archipelago, Sri Lanka and the West Indies which were referred to as the ‘Insular Missions’. Today we are certainly realising that the answer to this question is a resounding YES as we see ‘Reverse Mission’ taking place. It has been a great privilege to experience the growth of the church in Kuching and West Malaysia during this two week visit, and to be challenged and inspired by the attention given to discipleship in particular. Revd Dr Albert Walters has been seconded by the Diocese of West Malaysia to the Church of Bangladesh where he is the Principal of St. Andrew’s Theological College, Dhaka. Muslims make up 90% of the population and Christians 0.3%.
