| The Pastors of the NED started their meeting on Tuesday 28th 06-2005 in
Lushoto town. The venue for this meeting is in the Cathedral. The
pastors started to arrive in this beautiful town on Monday 27-06-2005.
This is an ordinary meeting normally used as an opportunity for
continued learning. The pastors of the NED meet two times year- in June
and the week that follows the First Advent each year. |

Therefore, our pastors are here again for their week of learning. This
time the learning week will be concluded by the ordination of two
Theologians to the Priestly office. The two candidates for ordination
are John Mnkama and Isai M. Mweta.
Looking briefly at the timetable of this learning week we notice that
there are three main subjects in focus. These three subjects are:
-
Uamsho (revivalism) and its impact on the church
-
Stewardship and
-
Leadership.
Apart from those main topics there are informative topics like
information on the reopening of Vuga Bible School for the training of
Deacons and Evangelists. Also seen from this category is information on
SACCOS, Land and property ownership. Another category in information is
on the final version of two documents for the teaching ministry of the
Church. The two manuscripts to be presented are on confirmation classes
teaching material and a teaching document on stewardship. This time
again there is an opportunity for the pastors to convene as council for
the sake of discussing pastoral work within the Diocese. We pray that
this week be a blessing to our pastors. We expect that from this
meeting they will gain new strength for furthering the work of God. May
this meeting be a source of blessing for the NED and for the glory of
God. |
