    CASE STUDIES : Day Workshop in Tanzania Case Study – Day Workshop in Tanzania Background: This day workshop was held in Morogoro, Tanzania in October 2013 following an intensive 3-day seminar with three Tanzanian church leaders exploring how the central theme of the “Bible in the Life of the Church” [BILC] project might be looked at in Tanzania. The outline of this workshop was then used by the three leaders in other parts of Tanzania. What follows is an outline of the workshop, a commentary from Stephen Lyon, the Coordinator of BILC who observed the event and an assessment of the workshop. It is offered as a Case Study that might be adapted for use elsewhere. The Aim of the Workshop: To encourage and equip church leaders to motivate congregations to a deeper engagement with the Bible. Or in its Tanzanian context: “Kuwatia moyo na kuwawezesha viongozi wa kanisa ili wawatie moyo waumini washiriki kwa kina katika kusoma, kutafakari, na kuielewa Biblia.” The outline of the programme: Coffee/tea on arrival 10.00 Welcome and Introductions Who facilitators are Aims of the project 10.15 Bible engagement – Job 1:6-12 [in small groups] Passage chosen for its application to the local context of 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.

    Carpenter’s Kids Watoto Wa Seremala PARTNERS Engaged in God’s Mission: Transforming the lives of children, communities, and the world Quarter One 2015 The Carpenter’s Kids of Buigiri waving good-bye to the CK Team, Fall 2014! Greetings to you all, our friends and supporters around the globe! This past Fall found the Carpenter’s Kids Team making their school distributions as usual. Due to time constraints, there were many Saturdays on which 4 or 5 villages were visited by both vehicles. The children and their communities also saw the delivery of thousands of Malaria Nets! Malaria nets ready for loading on to vehicles. Nhinhi CK’s Msangalale CK’s! We spent much of January ensuring that our Secondary and Vocational students have all they need for their continued success. These students came with their guardians from their villages to the CK office in Dodoma. For several days, we saw hundreds of children each day. Canon Noah greeted each group with prayers and exhortations to continue to work to the best of their ability. Students and guardians alike were so grateful for the help they receive through Carpenter’s Kids, without which they would be unable to access education and make for themselves and their communities the future they all deserve. One young man texted me the following week to say, “Miss Judy. I am so happy. I am in my school!.” He texts regularly, always indicating his happiness and gratitude. Yesterday he texted that there were “students in my school with hearing disorders so we teach them using hand signs.” We are serving over 1,000 Secondary and Vocational students now, thanks to the generosity of CK’s Donors.

  • A Testimony of Constancy in Faith, Hope and Love
    The Ninth Consultation of Anglican Bishops in Dialogue London, Ontario, Canada July 18-­­22, 2018 A Testimony of Constancy in Faith, Hope and Love The Perspective of Elders Your older ones shall dream dreams (Joel 2:28) We began this Ninth Consultation, as we have begun each one, by sharing our names and our news. As we did so some themes began to emerge. A number of us were retiring from our Dioceses, or indeed had already retired. And a number of us had become grandparents, or had been blessed by the arrival of yet more grandchildren. Many of the bishops in our Consultation are young, with years of ministry ahead. But as we give testimony to the Communion we also speak as elders, and as grandparents in God. And from this perspective we want to commend to the Communion the way of working we have developed over these years. God has given us gifts of being. We are patient with one another. We take the trouble to come together and to give our full attention to one another. We prioritise praying together, and reading scripture. Above all we seek to listen before we speak. These ways of being, slow and light and calm, are also the gifts of grandparents to their children and grandchildren. The Church, and especially the Church in the West, can all too easily become anxious and hasty. We want to solve our problems by cutting the knots that bind us and that are sometimes tightly tangled. From the perspective of elders, we counsel a different way.
