The World Mission and Development Group includes representatives from the major mission and development agencies and people from parishes and deaneries. It seeks to help parishes make an awareness of the world Church a natural part of their thinking and world development a natural part of mission. The Group is planning Area workshops but is always glad to respond to particular requests for training, information, advice or presentations.

Southwark - Zimbabwe Link

A choirmaster leading the choir in song and danceThe Link between the Diocese of Southwark and three of the four Anglican dioceses in Zimbabwe began informally in 1991. Since then the Link has grown stronger through regular prayer, the sharing of gifts and resources, and visits in both directions by bishops, diocesan advisers, clergy, adults and young people from parishes. As well as the growth of many personal friendships, one of the chief benefits to us has been the enlargement of our understanding of what it is to be the Church. Alongside our experience of Anglicanism in England, many in this diocese now have some insight into what it means to be a Christian in a very different political and economic context. That insight challenges us, widens our horizons, renews our sense of mission and informs our prayer.

Our three Episcopal Areas, each linked with a different Zimbabwean diocese, keep parishes in their Area up to date with recent news from Zimbabwe.
