Chester Congo Link
Chester Diocese is linked to the Anglican Dioceses of Aru and Boga in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Aim of the ABC link
Our mission through this link is to be one church in different places, developing a world- wide understanding of the kingdom of God by:
-
finding ways of doing things together and by learning from one another through the exchange of information and visits.
-
sharing problems, joy’s and opportunities and offering mutual support
- encourage positive and active participation by parish links.
News: A chance to visit Aru yourself...next year!
Top of the list of the Link’s priorities are friendship and prayer. What better way of helping us achieve these objectives than by going to DR Congo and meeting the Christians there. The welcome you receive, the music you hear, the faith of the people and experiencing at first-hand African life and culture will change you for ever. Canon Phil Groves, who wrote a Grove Booklet on Partnerships, says this:
‘There is no substitute for visits. Often you will think about all that could be done with the money involved in moving people, but this is a false dichotomy. The visits themselves will enthuse the visitors in prayer and action’.
Planning is at a very early stage. More details will emerge in the next month or two. Information will be sent to those on our mailing list and posted on the Diocesan website.
