  • Calendar of Intercessions Michaelmas – Advent 2017
    Calendar of Intercessions Michaelmas – Advent 2017 to this edition of the prayer diary, following the Feast St Michael and All Angels until the first Sunday of Advent. There are now two Rochester cycles of prayer – ‘parishes’ and ‘extra- Welcome parochial’. This is an attempt to be a little more even handed with the additional groups who are prayed for as the year turns, and to include our church schools in our prayers. As usual, it’s a sizable document but designed to be quick and clear to read, and also to leave space for your own notes. Of course, you do not have to print it all out at once, and you’re welcome to reformat it, if you wish (a Word version is available from my blog, see website below). Sunday entries are designed to look at some of the bigger pictures in our Diocese – sometimes geographical (deaneries, archdeaconries, link dioceses) sometimes issues or activities (Vocations Sunday). If there is an aspect of diocesan life that you’d like included on a Sunday, do let me know. These are followed through the week by daily prayers from all over the diocese, and across the Anglican Communion, including the calendar of saints and other worthy people. Finally, there is space in the daily entries for you to note any prayer requests that have been made to you or your parish, or any special interests you want to remember in your prayers. Please contact me with any comments or suggestions – [email protected] or 01634 814439. I will also be pleased to provide large print copies to any who would find that helpful.

  • Living Through Nigeria's Six-Year
    “When We Can’t See the Enemy, Civilians Become the Enemy” Living Through Nigeria’s Six-Year Insurgency About the Report This report explores the experiences of civilians and armed actors living through the conflict in northeastern Nigeria. The ultimate goal is to better understand the gaps in protection from all sides, how civilians perceive security actors, and what communities expect from those who are supposed to protect them from harm. With this understanding, we analyze the structural impediments to protecting civilians, and propose practical—and locally informed—solutions to improve civilian protection and response to the harm caused by all armed actors in this conflict. About Center for Civilians in Conflict Center for Civilians in Conflict (CIVIC) works to improve protection for civil- ians caught in conflicts around the world. We call on and advise international organizations, governments, militaries, and armed non-state actors to adopt and implement policies to prevent civilian harm. When civilians are harmed we advocate the provision of amends and post-harm assistance. We bring the voices of civilians themselves to those making decisions affecting their lives. The organization was founded as Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict in 2003 by Marla Ruzicka, a courageous humanitarian killed by a suicide bomber in 2005 while advocating for Iraqi families.

  • Statement from Synod of Bishops
    Statement from the Synod of Bishops of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa 'God has given us the ministry of reconciliation’ 2 Cor 5:18 We, the Bishops of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, meeting at the Gonubie Hotel near East London in the Diocese of Grahamstown between 13 and 18 February 2016, wish to share our experience and reflections with the people of the Church. Archbishop Thabo Makgoba asked the Bishops on this occasion to arrive early for their synod in order to express their pastoral presence in the Diocese of Grahamstown and the dioceses of the Eastern Cape more widely. On Sunday 14 February the bishops were invited for refreshments at the guest house of the Premier of the Province of the Eastern Cape, Mr Phumulo Masualle, in King William's Town before embarking on a moving peace walk from the Good News Centre up the hill on the route taken by the marchers to Bisho stadium in 1992, when they were met by the then security forces and 28 were killed. Premier Masualle who was on the march of 1992 and came close to being killed, joined the bishops in the march, together with the mayor and other dignitaries and many Anglican Church groups in uniform. The Archbishop spoke briefly, apologising where the Anglican Church may have failed to act adequately in the past, and he and the Premier laid a wreath at the memorial. The bishops then proceeded into the stadium for a moral regeneration rally led by the MEC for Art, Culture, Sports and Recreation, Ms Penny Majodina, who is also a Methodist lay preacher (and it showed); here the Premier spoke powerfully about the need for moral renewal in the leadership of the nation.

  • Bishop Alfred Robert Tucker and the Establishment of the African Anglican Church, Christopher Byaruhanga Word Alive Publishers, Nairobi
    Book Review Bishop Alfred Robert Tucker and the Establishment of the African Anglican Church, Christopher Byaruhanga Word Alive Publishers, Nairobi. 2008. 234 pages ISBN: 978-9-966-80508-9 Reviewed by: Julius Gathogo Kenyatta University University of South Africa [email protected] [email protected] Christopher Byaruhanga is an ordained priest in the Church of the Province of Uganda. He is also a professor of historical theology at Uganda Christian University. In his book, Bishop Alfred Robert Tucker and the Establishment of the African Anglican Church (2008), he successfully introduces Alfred Tucker (1849-1914), the third and last bishop of the so-called diocese of Eastern Equatorial Africa, which lasted from 1884 to 1897, as the most successful and illustrious European missionary in the twentieth century in Eastern Africa. In turn, the diocese of Eastern Equatorial Africa covered the present day Kenya, Northern Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. While Tucker is the third bishop of the so-called diocese of Eastern Equatorial Africa, James Hannington (1847–1885) was its first bishop, and Henry Perrot Parker (1852-1888) was its second bishop. Due to the success of Alfred Tucker, the diocese grew rapidly during his primacy that began in 1890 and ended in 1897, after which it was sub-divided into the diocese of Uganda, now under Alfred Tucker, and the diocese of Mombasa under Bishop William George Peel (1854–1916). According to Byaruhanga (2008), Tucker, who was educated at Oxford University and later Cambridge before ordination to priesthood in 1882, was sent by the Church Missionary Society to spearhead the Anglican activities in Eastern Africa after the sudden death of Bishop Henry Perrot Parker, who died of a heavy bout of malaria while on his way to Usagara near Mwanza in northern Tanganyika (renamed Tanzania) in April 1888.

  • The Role of Arch-Bishop L. Brown in the Establishment of the Church of the Province of Uganda. Leslie Wilfrid Brown Lived Betwee
    The role of Arch-Bishop L. Brown in the establishment of the church of the province of Uganda. Leslie Wilfrid Brown lived between 10th June 1912 and 27th December 1999. He was Bishop then Archbishop of Uganda before returning to England to be Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich1. Brown was educated at Enfield Grammar School before studying for ordination at the London College of Divinity. He was ordained priest by the Bishop of Portsmouth in 19362. After a curacy at St James, Milton, Portsmouth he went out to the Diocese of Travancore and Cochin on the Malabar coast of India in January 1938, working there for the Church Missionary Society, and eventually becoming Principal of the Kerala United Theological Seminary3. In 1952 he accepted the post of Bishop of Uganda, despite having doubts because of his support for indigenization. Upon his appointment, the then Mukama of Bunyoro congratulated him with these words; “It has been much pleasure to hear that you have been appointed as a bishop of Uganda instead of Bishop Stuart who has done a big job for Uganda. I trust you, as well as he has done, will energetically serve the Church in Uganda successfully…..”4 In regard to the above letter, apart from the Mukama of Bunyoro a number of very important people including Muteesa of Buganda congratulated him and were willing to welcome him and ready to serve with him as Bishop. Muteesa as well had this to say; “I assure you of a very warm welcome and cooperation of us all, on your arrival”5 1 Available on; Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Brown_%28bishop%29 , accessed on 27/02/14 2 Accessed from the UCU Archives, George Cicestr, letter responding to the questioning of the appointment of Rev.
