Good News Is No News in Nnewi!

by the Rt. Rev'd Martyn Minns

MinnsA funny thing happened in Nnewi, Nigeria, last week. (Nnewi is a bustling city in southeast Nigeria.) Archbishop Peter Akinola presided over a remarkable meeting of the Standing Committee of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), but nobody from the world media noticed. It wasn't that it was a closed or secret meeting it's hard to keep a gathering of a thousand church leaders quiet, and preparations had been public for months.

St. Patrick's New Land

Alleluia. St. Patrick’s has taken the first step towards a permanent presence in Rutherford County. This week we closed on 7 ½ acres of the most beautiful farm land on Baker Road. Beyond being beautiful property it has a nice home on it that will function as a ministry center with offices and classrooms, and since it has a kitchen, will be also used for various fellowship events.

Letters from the Wilderness #13

Like you, I receive all kinds of jokes and rumors and corny stories in
my email on a regular basis. I especially don’t like the ones that are
made to tug on your heart strings but are as genuine as a can of
Spam. However I received this one recently and it got my attention
and started my wheels spinning. As soon as you see it you will
understand how easily the principle taught in this touching story can
be translated into how we welcome people to our parish and to
personal evangelism.
