Events:
We are planning to run a gathering for Provincial youth Staff and at least one young person from each Anglican Province in September 2007 in England. The agenda is to hear what is happening among young people and young adults around the world, to develop the network, and to prepare a workshop to be run with the bishops at the Lambeth Conference to be held in 2008. We have no money, but it is an exciting thing to aim at!! Any ideas on where we can find 100,000 pounds???
New York and the UN
We are also needing to choose two reps (aged 18-30) from each region (Asia, Latin America, Africa, Europe including the Middle east and Oceania) to attend an Anglican young adults gathering at the UN in in New York in June this year, all expenses paid. Man I wish I was 30 again!Any young people; out there with thoughts and reactions
This has been a good meeting. One of the joys was for some of us to attend the two meetings of Anglican young people at the WCC. There was a strong groups of Latin American youth and leaders, who were invited to our meeting. Aelid from Cuba was able to attend,a and also joined us for several of our outings. She is pictured with us (minus Sarah who was sick)
The generosity of the Brazilian church has been absolutely outstanding. To receive this level of hospitilaty is life giving really. I have been the convenor, and have really enjoyed the task. Sam Dessordi from Brazil has been duly elected the next convenor.
Although we all speak English to some degree, the language issue has been made starkly clear at the WCC and here. So we will need to at least translate some of all we do into Spanish, and if possible Portuguese, French and Chinese. Whew! So much for the church of England!
