ALMA London

ALMA London ALMA is the dynamic Companion link and covenant between the Anglican Churches in Angola, London and Mozambique.

We journey together, learning with and from each other in our mission and ministry, undergirded by prayer and friendship. ALMA (Angola London Mozambique Association) is the Companion Link partnership started in 1998 between the Diocese of London and 2 Dioceses (Lebombo & Niassa) in Mozambique and the Archdeaconry of Angola . In 2002 Angola became a Diocese, and then Nampula in 2017. In 2021 Mozamb

ique and Angola became the 42nd Province of the Anglican Communion (Igreja Anglicana de Mocambique e Angola). IAMA encompasses 8 Dioceses in Mozambique (5 of these new in 2022) and 4 Dioceses in Angola (3 new in 2032). Happily the Bishops of all 12 Dioceses were able to come to the UK for the Lambeth Conference in 2022 which was a time of fellowship and renewal for the ALMA partnership. We are so thankful for our Partnership in the Gospel which is intentionally prayed for each Wednesday in the Diocese of London’s Cycle of Prayer. We learn with and from each other, in all that we are and do, as Christ's church in our differing contexts.

Prayers for our long term friend Helen as she prepares to travel to Belfast for ACC. Great to know there will be Igreja Anglicana de Moçambique e Angola - IAMA delegates there too. Go well!

The Revd Helen Van Koevering, Chair of the International Anglican Women’s Network, is preparing to attend ACC-19.

Helen describes her own story as one shaped by many parts of the Anglican Communion: ‘I was born and raised in England, confirmed in Durham, married in Mozambique, a missionary in Zimbabwe, ordained a priest in Wales, served for 25 years the church in northern Mozambique, and, now, the Episcopal Church for 10 years.’

Looking ahead to ACC-19, Helen said: ‘I am excited to sit with our global church at a momentous time of discerning God’s mission with us going forward! It feels like being invited to the kitchen not just the table.’

Her prayer is: ‘Lord and Father of all, You are our guide and satisfy our needs and hopes; may our conversations bring renewed relationships, inspire us into Your mission with all at the edges of the diverse communities of our beloved Communion, and encourage the rebuilding, restoration and reconciliation of all that is broken, hurting and divided. And all so that we may bring glory to You. Amen.’

This article has more of an an Asian focus but those working so hard in Mozambique on mangrove replanting, especially in Diocese Anglicana De Inhambane might find it interesting.

Swampy mangrove forests are staging a surprise comeback - which is good news for coastal communities and the climate. Find out why they are so important: https://bbc.in/3RGqfPI

What special news and inspiring words:
‘Churches cannot be mere observers of the climate crisis; we must be bridges for dialogue and agents of change.’

Today is World Environment Day. We give thanks for the appointment of the Most Revd Marinez Rosa dos Santos Bassotto, Primate of Brazil and Bishop of the Amazon, as Chair of the Anglican Communion Environmental Network (ACEN).

Archbishop Marinez, who is well known for her advocacy for the natural world and for Indigenous peoples and traditional communities in the Amazon, will attend ACC-19 as both Primate of Igreja Episcopal Anglicana do Brasil and Chair of ACEN.

Reflecting on her appointment, Archbishop Marinez said:

‘Churches cannot be mere observers of the climate crisis; we must be bridges for dialogue and agents of change.’
