From the Rectors Desk 09 October 2011

Grace and Truth from our Lord Jesus Christ.
“Southern Africa’s Anglicans are planning confidently for the future. This was the clear message from the Provincial Standing Committee of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa (ACSA).”
“There was a willingness not only to ‘talk the talk, but also to walk the walk’ and to get involved in God's mission across all sectors, working in such areas as theological
education, health, environment, leadership and finance. “
“On climate change, delegates endorsed a call for the whole church to engage as fully as possible in promoting significant agreement at COP-17, and to promote care for the environment at every level from liturgy to the practical life of parishes and dioceses, to pressing government and business to engage as urgently as had been done for the HIV pandemic.”

I am very enthused by the work being done in the Anglican Church to address a wide spectrum of contemporary issues and encourage you to get involved in dialogue on issues that affect us. In the Parish I am looking for “champions” who will work with me in setting up work groups to implement the Provincial Vision at Parish Level. I’d like to see some new faces interacting on issues of Environment, Social upliftment, Theological Education, protection and nurturing of youth, and health. Drop me an email should you wish to get involved. I am also still looking to set up a political analysis group that monitors and holds Government accountable and the parish informed. God Bless—Fr Andrew.
