AIDS projects honoured
Grahamstown Diocese Isibindis chosen as pilot projects
Three Church HIV/AIDS projects started in parishes in the Diocese of
Grahamstown have been recognised at national and
international level, and have been given toys, containers and a vehicle to
assist their work.
The National Association of Child Care Workers (NACCW) has recognised the quality of the work being done at the three
sites, Ilinge, Ezibeleni
and Alice, where the diocese and the local parishes have made available church
property to be used as Safe Parks for orphans and vulnerable children infected
or affected by HIV/ AIDS. These are known as “Isibindi
Projects”. Isibindi is a Zulu word, meaning
“Courage”. (Isibindi projects first started in KwaZulu Natal.)
These
three Formal Safe Parks will be among a total of only ten in the whole country
that will be piloting the Safe Park Model. As part of this recognition and
pilot project the NACCW has provided, with PEPFAR funding, playground
equipment, an array of educational toys and games for development into toy
libraries, and two 12-metre containers for Ilinge as
added indoor space for homework and crafts as the numbers climb. (PEPFAR is a
In
addition the NACCW has given the use of a vehicle for the three Isibindi sites, in recognition of the partnership between
the Anglican Diocese of Grahamstown and the NACCW, and considering the
distances involved. This is being put to good use by Heidi Schmidt and Monica
Vega, who initiated the projects and co-ordinate them.
Two
more 12-metre containers were purchased through a private donor, for office and
indoor space for children at the
New wheels: This car belonging to the NACCW has been made
available to the diocese’s Isibindi projects.
Monica Vega writes:
Isibindi, creating circles of care
If you’ve ever thrown a pebble into a lake or stream, you’ll notice how
that one pebble creates a ripple, then another, and another…This is how a recent
visiting pilgrim described how we all can create this ripple effect, one pebble
at a time, eventually reaching out great lengths. This is how he saw the Isibindi
Projects, the Child and Youth Care Workers, and each one of us, maybe not
“fixing” the massive problem of HIV/AIDS on a grand scale, but rather touching
the lives of so many children and families, one child, one ripple at a time,
creating circles of care.
This
ripple effect started in Ilinge in 2005 when some few
orphans gathered for a meal, dancing, singing and playing. The Isibindi Model was initiated in Ilinge
in August 2006 and has extended to Ezibeleni and
Alice this year, serving over 800 children and currently training 45 Child and
Youth Care Workers.
So
you can see that this ripple effect has extended beyond our imaginations and
continues to extend as more and more people are touched, moved, to throw their
pebble in…and create circles of care.

The Vicar-General writes….
Let us walk in the light of the Lord!
Bishop Thabo Makgoba appointed Canon Suzanne
Peterson, Sub-Dean of the Cathedral, to be his Vicar-General while he is away
on sabbatical leave from October-December 2007.
God shall judge between the nations
and shall arbitrate for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into
ploughshares, and spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore. O house of Jacob, come,
let us walk in the light of the Lord! Isaiah 2:4-5
These two verses will sound familiar to all of
us as they were read on the first Sunday in Advent. By the time you read these words we will be
half way through December, yet I want to focus these few words on the season of
Advent.
In
the liturgical year, Advent marks the beginning of another year in God’s time.
It is a season which often gets buried under the secular world’s fascination
with its commercial focus on Christmas - selling and buying as much as
possible.
But
year after year the themes of Advent seem to be our most fervent longings:
hope, peace and justice for all of creation. We only need to read the
newspapers, listen to the radio and watch TV to realise how far we fall short
of God’s vision and hope for humankind and creation. We need to be reminded
again and again in whose image we have been created and how we are meant to
live in order to be faithful to that image.
It
is sometimes too easy to get trapped by all the negatives in our world and the
many failures of the human family. That is the reality of being created in the
image of God, with freedom to choose between good and evil. We often make bad
choices.
But
let us not lose sight of the theme of hope which is an important part of
Advent. Hope looks to the future, despite the unpleasantness of the present and
the past. Hope is that which creates in us a sense of the future and our part
in it.
We
are in a time of transition in our diocese and we look to the future with hope
and perhaps some uncertainty about how things will take shape. We look forward to the formation of the
Ukhahlamba Diocese and its growth. Some time in the first two months of 2008 we
will be saying ‘Farewell and God Speed’ to Bishop Thabo, Lungi and Nyakallo and
Paballo as they move to
Though
these two realities may be tinged with a bit of sadness, there are
opportunities for growth at several levels, not the least of which is the call
to grow our congregations into places where hope abounds and where striving for
peace and justice is part of our daily life as God’s people in this place.
So
let us keep the hope of Advent alive in our hearts and congregations all year
long. Let us move forward, knowing that
God is with us and wants to guide and empower us to be people of hope and peace
and justice, who can make a difference wherever we find ourselves. Come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!
I also want to take this opportunity
to wish you and your families and congregations a very blessed Christmastide
and a New Year filled with peace and hope and joy.
In the peace and hope of Christ,
Suzanne
Training doesn’t stop with Ordination
By Mark
Spyker and Peter Lenkoe
Directors
Post-Ordination Training, Southern Region
An exciting new development took place at the
College of the Transfiguration in July, when about 20 recently ordained clergy
attended four days of residential post-ordination training. Being residential
they were able to meet, pray, and meditate together far more readily, and cover
more ground than usual in 11 training sessions. Input was provided by Peter Lenkoe,
Mark Spyker, Charles Lagan, Clive Newman, Bill Domeris, and Percy Chinganga, covering topics as diverse as contextual
theology, African spirituality, spiritual formation, liturgy and worship,
preaching and Christian education. The diversity of topics, the good
attendance, the fellowship, and the regular participation of Bishop Thabo all
contributed to the great success of a programme which all agreed should be
repeated next year.

More to the Anglican Communion
By Br John Forbis
OHC
On the 11 November 2007, the Church of St. Peter on the Rock at Mariya uMama weThemba Monastery was full of emotion and celebration as 16 young people aged two to 17 made an important Christian commitment freely and joyfully. Their parents, the monks, Associates of the order, guests from North America and people from Grahamstown were witnesses to their baptism.
These children had been worshipping faithfully at the Monastery every Sunday, some walking up to 12 kilometres. They provide the joy and energy for the liturgy, leading songs, playing drums and other percussion instruments and showing their eagerness to learn and pray as part of a Christian community. The Brothers are delighted to have them as part of the worship community as well as to be added to the larger Anglican Communion.
As a bonus Bishop Ann Tottenham from Toronto, the Order of the Holy Cross’s Deputy Bishop Visitor, was present to baptize them. She was on a “visitation” to the monastic community as well as visiting the Diocese of Grahamstown as a representative from the Link Diocese. She offered her greetings, congratulations and welcome from the Diocese of Toronto for their baptism. This is the second baptism that has been held in the monastic church, and the next one will not be too far away.
“Do you desire to be baptized?” Bishop Ann Tottenham asked the
candidates. Their response was a firm “I do”.
Harvest Festival, African style: St Andrew’s Mdantsane
By T T Mgatyelwa, Parish Secretary
A Harvest Festival was held on 2 September 2007 at St Andrew’s Mdantsane. This was a very special day for the parish, which was experiencing this kind of service for the first time. They all enjoyed the service and pleaded that it be an annual event. Most of the people were dressed in traditional attire and the meals of the day were purely African traditional food, fresh vegetables from the garden, umngqusho, amasi, irostile amarewu, imifino, and more. It was a celebration both of Christian harvest festival and of African identity. The day started with a Eucharist service presided over by the rector, William Fobosi. In his sermon he explained the reasons for celebrating the Harvest Festival every year, and the importance of this kind of service in the Christian community. A sum of R41,000.00 was raised on this day. It is hoped to raise more next year because everyone now realises the importance of Harvest in the life of the church.
Dressed for the occasion, parishioners of St Andrew’s

Buffalo
The Church of St Laurence, Buffalo Flats, a daughter church of Good
Shepherd, celebrated its 40th anniversary on 11 November. The church was packed
for the service and a marquee had to be erected to accommodate the crowd. Among
the guests of honour at the service and curry lunch
was Canon Roy Snyman tssf, the church’s founder, and
Sister Carol CR (seen above), who was working in Good Shepherd parish at the
time St Laurence’s church was founded. Canon Roy Snyman, now living in
retirement in Port Elizabeth, is Chaplain of the C R Sisters.
Why “St Laurence”?
Background information contributed by Canon Roy Snyman tssf
Forty years ago, when Fr Roy Snyman tssf was launching the Parish of the Good Shepherd into independence, the parishioners soon discovered the need for a chapelry in the new Buffalo Flats suburb.
With help they built a centre that included a screened-off sanctuary, meeting hall, and clinic room (with kitchen and tiny vestry). People then asked why such a large building was envisaged in so tiny a settlement! 40 years on it is now too small for the lively congregation.
The reasons why it was called “St Laurence” were:
Because this martyr saint was a Deacon (= one who serves) of Rome, serving that newly established Christian church. This building was to be a “place of service” to God’s people and the community.
Some die-hard racists in the suburbs across the Buffalo in the “white”, mostly Nationalist, area, objected to the construction of the municipal houses (in the distance) for the expanding “Coloured” population. Because St Laurence proclaimed to the Prefect of Rome, that Christ’s followers were the “wealth of the Church”, and there was no other, he was martyred on the grid-iron. So the name “St Laurence” was a reminder of the firm belief that the Good Shepherd and Buffalo Flats people were “a treasure to the Lord Jesus”. They were to be prepared to suffer like St Laurence, rather than forget their dignity as the Redeemed, and thus precious to God.
So St Laurence was born.
Canon Roy Snyman tssf recently wrote an article on the Religious Life, which was published in the Port Elizabeth Diocesan newsletter Iindaba, and in Southern Anglican. To read it on the Internet, go to:

From the Department of
Spirituality
The
Garden laid waste
By Charles Lagan
I have been looking over the Latin text of the Veni, Sancte Spiritus and thinking how appropriate it is to the
cosmic implications of global warming, such Latin words as sordidum, aridum, saucium, rigidum, frigidum, devium.
These words speak
to the impact of human greed and selfishness on the world, a world so
beautifully dramatized in
Spirituality
is not “Cool-of-the-evening-talk in the Garden”. The Garden has been laid waste
and the Church ever breathless catching up (because of a committee meeting) is
very slowly wording concerns.
The
issue needs urgent Holy Spirit “Radium” treatment (see stanza 1) and weekly
prayer.
I
leave you with
God’s Grandeur
The world is charged with the
grandeur of God.
It
will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
It
gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reek his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod,
have trod;
And
all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
And wears man’s smudge and shares
man’s smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel,
being shod.
And for all this, nature is never
spent;
There
hues the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the
black West went
Oh,
morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs -
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast and
with ah! bright wings.
Gerald Manley Hopkins
Veni, Sancte Spiritus
The Latin text begins:
Veni, Sancte
Spiritus,
et emitte
caelitus
lucis tuae
radium.
English version:
Come, Holy Ghost,
send forth the heavenly
radiance of your light.
Come, father of the poor,
come giver of gifts,
come, light of the heart.
Greatest comforter,
sweet guest of the soul,
sweet consolation.
In labour, rest,
in heat, temperance,
in tears, solace.
O most blessed light,
fill the inmost heart
of your faithful.
Without your divine will,
there is nothing in man,
nothing is harmless.
Wash that which is unclean, (sordidum)
water that which is dry, (aridum)
heal that which is wounded. (saucium)
Bend that which is inflexible, (rigidum)
warm that which is chilled, (frigidum)
make right that which is wrong. (devium)
Give to your faithful,
who rely on you,
the sevenfold gifts.
Give reward to virtue,
give salvation at our passing on,
give eternal joy.
Amen. Alleluia.

of each of the meetings was the combined parish music group which led the
worship (comprising Richard Wyngaard, Loyiso Dingiso, Simone Spyker, Lukhanyo

Christmas Message for the Youth
From Immanuel Bangubukhosi
Ngubo, Lay-chaplain of Greater E L Archdeaconry Youth
Guild
It is time for enjoyment and special time for our families but in South Africa it is also time for road deaths and crime. The high level of substance abuse by youth and level of spending is also affecting the incoming year where we start the new year with debt of the past year. In all spend wise and remember your next year’s responsibilities like back to school: uniform, fees etc.
I don’t suggest you must not have fun but try to be 100% responsibly and remember: “We must know that world is not a dark and sinister jungle, but a garden. And not just any garden, but a beautiful garden, filled with pleasure, full of beauty wonderful fruits and fragrances and a place of peace if you so wish.” (Adapted from words by T Freeman)
The violence is not part of this above garden, domestic violence is not, corruption is not, hate, discrimination and other ills of the society are not part of the beautiful garden.
Youth in general remember your Creator at all times behave in a responsible way during this season times and plan for many coming ones. May your festive season be filled with happiness and love. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thank you for the 2007 support and keep on even in 2008. May my living God bless you all.
