The joys and challenges of starting a new diocese from scratch...

Challenges of Mission in a New Diocese in Africa

> By Bishop Mwita Akiri, PhD

The Anglican Diocese of Tarime is the 26th

diocese of the Anglican Church of Tanzania in
Africa, and the youngest. It is located east of
Lake Victoria, and shares a border with Kenya to
the north and north east. Part of Tarime is home
to the western side of the Serengeti National
Park! In this case, visitors to Tarime who have
spare time will not return home without enjoying
the abundant wildlife in Tanzania and rare world
wonders such as the Ngorongoro Crater.

Coming from the post of Provincial (General)
Secretary of the National Church in Tanzania and
working in a well established national office
with large staff to become the first bishop of a
largely rural diocese throws up all kind of
challenges that require prayers and support from
all God's people. We are still recovering from
the drama of a very lively and successful
inaugural ceremony on July 4, 2010 which was
attend by over 2000 people and graced by the
President of the United Republic of Tanzania as
Guest of Honor. Now I say to members of the
clergy and the congregations, ?the party is over.
Now is time start doing the serious work.?

Since July we have been conducting a needs

assessment in the parishes and among the clergy
to help us determine our diocesan mission
priorities for the next three years which is the
life span of a Diocesan Synod and the Diocesan
Council or the Standing Committee of the Synod.
The needs assessment will end when the Synod has
debated and endorsed the priorities selected. It
may be proper to share some of the preliminary
findings that have emerged from submissions
coming out the parishes. Some of these include
the things that were part of my vision for
Tarime. I am glad that God has used his people to confirm them.

PUBLICATION OF THE WEEK

(Each week ACNS features a publication from a
Communion Network, group, society, Province, diocese or parish)

<http://iafn.anglicancommunion.org/index.cfm>International
Anglican Family Network

Trafficking is a world-wide problem, driven by
the same forces that drive the globalisation of
markets, with no lack of demand and supply. In
varying degrees and circumstances, men, women and
children all over the world are victims of what
has become a modern day slave trade. Almost every
country of the world is affected either as a
source, transit, and/or destination country for
women, children and men trafficked for the
purposes of sexual or labour exploitation.

This newsletter looks at Anglican and other

Christian initiatives across the world, such as
the Anglican Church of Southern Africa's response
to increased trafficking around the Football
World Cup, raising awareness in rural communities
in India, and the care and support of vulnerable migrant women in 
Hong Kong.
