There is lots of work to be done. We need a mechanism as the Archbishop of Canterbury called for in his Christmas message last year. A mechanism to respond to the crises that affect our brothers and sisters around the world. Frankly, it is important that our name be seen as people who care. The work is there for us to do.
Situations never seem to fail to emerge.
The challenges are many. There are not wealthy Churches but the blessings are many. We are all interrelated. We are all part of a whole that is greater than the part. We are part of the Body of Christ and we are called upon in this 1996 world of suffering, in this 1996 world of joy, to reach out to our brothers and sisters.
