  • 11 March 2018, Arusha, Tanzania: In a spirit of vibrant hospitality, the Christ Church Cathedral of Mount Kilimanjaro Diocese, Arusha, Tanzania celebrated mass on 11 March, inviting fellow Christians from around the world currently participating in the WCC Conference on World Mission and Evangelism. <br />
<br />
The cathedral, whose location in central Arusha historically marked the mid-point between Cape Town (South Africa) and Cairo (Egypt), has a long history as a central worship point for a mixture of local and international congregants. <br />
<br />
Reflecting the call to mission, the church is active in the areas of Education and Health, and sponsors schools, hospitals, as well as charity work. With a particular focus on children, the church organizes a weekly “Compassion Saturday”, where children are welcomed to the church for Christian teachings, food and other support. <br />
<br />
Welcoming the international visitors to an African worship experience, the service combined traditional aspects of the Anglican liturgy with contemporary African charisma, through choirs and dance.

  • A displaced woman carries water home in Agok, a town in the contested Abyei region where tens of thousands of people fled in 2011 after an attack by soldiers and militias from the northern Republic of Sudan on most parts of Abyei. Although the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement called for residents of Abyei--which sits on the border between Sudan and South Sudan--to hold a referendum on whether they wanted to align with the north or the newly independent South Sudan, the government in Khartoum and northern-backed Misseriya nomads, excluded from voting as they only live part of the year in Abyei, blocked the vote and attacked the majority Dinka Ngok population. The African Union has proposed a new peace plan, including a referendum to be held in October 2013, but it has been rejected by the Misseriya and Khartoum. The Catholic parish of Abyei, with support from Caritas South Sudan and other international church partners, has maintained its pastoral presence among the displaced and assisted them with food, shelter, and other relief supplies.

  • Bruna Maloal, a 63-year old Roman Catholic catechist, cleans up the rubble around a new home she is building in Abyei, a town at the center of the contested Abyei region along the border between Sudan and South Sudan. Her home was looted and burned in 2011 when soldiers and militias from the northern Republic of Sudan swept through the area, chasing out Maloal and tens of thousands of others. She and a handful of other residents returned to the town in 2012 after northern combatants withdrew. She has constructed the framework for a thatched roof, but has yet to cut the grasses needed for the thatching. Although Ethiopian peacekeepers patrol the region, renewed attacks by northern-backed Misseriya militias in 2013 have Maloal and others worried.

  • 11 March 2018, Arusha, Tanzania: In a spirit of vibrant hospitality, the Christ Church Cathedral of Mount Kilimanjaro Diocese, Arusha, Tanzania celebrated mass on 11 March, inviting fellow Christians from around the world currently participating in the WCC Conference on World Mission and Evangelism. <br />
<br />
The cathedral, whose location in central Arusha historically marked the mid-point between Cape Town (South Africa) and Cairo (Egypt), has a long history as a central worship point for a mixture of local and international congregants. <br />
<br />
Reflecting the call to mission, the church is active in the areas of Education and Health, and sponsors schools, hospitals, as well as charity work. With a particular focus on children, the church organizes a weekly “Compassion Saturday”, where children are welcomed to the church for Christian teachings, food and other support. <br />
<br />
Welcoming the international visitors to an African worship experience, the service combined traditional aspects of the Anglican liturgy with contemporary African charisma, through choirs and dance. Bishop Stanley Hotay from the Diocese of Mount Kilimanjaro led the service.
