PARTNERS’ STATEMENT AT THE MISSION AGENCIES’ CONFERENCE: BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA, 8TH – 13TH DECEMBER 1986 The Conference could be regarded in some ways as the Mission Agencies’ PIM Consultation, and therefore the representatives of the Partner Churches decided to make their own Statement to the Conference: (a) We believe this first Mission Agencies’ Conference has been a rich experience for all of us. We have grown in mutual knowledge and sharing. We appreciate the invitation to participate. We wish to express our thanks to the Chairman of the Conference for his sensitivity to us all, and to the Primate of Australia and the Australian Church for their warm welcome and hospitality. (b) We have tried our best to participate by speaking and listening; but English is not our first language and our participation was at times limited by this fact. There is need for our partners to bear this in mind and avoid using unnecessary colloquial language. (c) We were greatly encouraged by the spirit of understanding, the willingness of the Mission Agencies to listen to us and to one another, and their readiness to respond to the changing demands of the mission of the Church. (d) We have always been unhappy with the unconscious ‘first world’ tendency to tell us what is the best for us without ‘taking us seriously. In the language of Dermot Dorgan’s paper we also are ‘donors We are willing to accept invitations to offer what we can. II Corinthians 8:4-15 is the church model for our Communion. In this model all we have is to be shared; everyone gives, and everybody receives, because we are one! (e) We commend the views expressed in the papers presented on the PIM process, which very much reflected the concerns of all of us. (f) As representatives of “third world” Provinces we realise that we do not know each other sufficiently. We need channels to enable us to build up mutual understanding and knowledge. We need to share experiences in order to get

Dear Friends, Greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ! I don’t think there is a region in the whole world that is as inflamed and agitated as our region: The Middle East. I am sure that you follow the news about Syria: the destruction, the loss of lives, and the displacement of the Syrian people. As this was going on, the film defaming the Prophet Mohammed was broadcasted in the US and this evoked a volcanic response here in Egypt, in Libya, in Tunisia, in Sudan, in Yemen and in other parts of the region including a suicide bomb in Afghanistan killing 13. The film is aw- ful and is an intentional insult and provocation. The response to the film was also out of pro- portion and led to the death of innocent people, like the US Ambassador in Libya.

  • Pakistan-Christians-Converts.V4.0
    Country Policy and Information Note Pakistan: Christians and Christian converts Version 4.0 February 2021 Preface Purpose This note provides country of origin information (COI) and analysis of COI for use by Home Office decision makers handling particular types of protection and human rights claims (as set out in the Introduction section). It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis and assessment of COI and other evidence; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Assessment This section analyses the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment of, in general, whether one or more of the following applies: x A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm x The general humanitarian situation is so severe as to breach Article 15(b) of European Council Directive 2004/83/EC (the Qualification Directive) / Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iii) of the Immigration Rules x The security situation presents a real risk to a civilian’s life or person such that it would breach Article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iv) of the Immigration Rules x A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) x A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory x A claim is likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and x If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.

I would like to take this opportunity to warmly invite the reader to a friendly encounter with women leaders in the Anglican Church of Burundi, Matana Diocese. The first time the women leaders of the Matana Diocese met the women delegates from Trinity Church Wall Street and started discussing women’s role in the community, we clicked! Westina gained the trust of every woman she met; she generously offered her personal testimony and, in exchange, Westina received the gift of her interlocutors’ testimonies.

  • The Church of PAKISTAN
    The Church OF PAKISTAN Introduction The Anglican Communion consists of 40 autonomous churches, also known as provinces around the world. It encompasses over 165 countries. This is a short introduction to The Church of Pakistan. More information about The Anglican Communion and each of the Member Churches can be found at anglicancommunion.org. Important Information Short History The Church of Pakistan is the result of the union of four denominations: Anglican, Methodist, Lutheran and Presbyterian (Scottish), which took place in 1970. The United Presbyterian Church which had been involved in the negotiations did not join. Initially there were four dioceses in the Church of Pakistan, i.e. Karachi, Multan, Lahore and Sialkot, but in 1980, through a special resolution and for better ministerial work, four new dioceses were created: Hyderabad, Raiwind, Faisalabad and Peshawar. There are eight active diocesan bishops with an additional bishop for the Gulf Ministries. This appointment was made to take care of the pastoral and worship needs of Urdu-speaking workers in the Gulf. There is a presiding bishop for the Church of Pakistan who is known as the moderator and has responsibility for a three-year term. The United Church of Pakistan is the second largest church in the country after the Roman Catholic Church. PAKISTAN Primate(s) The Most Rev.
