MODAWA 2012 — Anglican Board of Missions PNG Pilgrimage: Information Session

Sunday 27 May, 2pm, All Saints' Anglican Church, Ainslie.

An ABM Pilgrimage is a unique opportunity to undertake a journey of reflection and discovery. Journeying alongside Anglicans in another culture we open ourselves to learning more about ourselves, our faith, our culture, the church and the role of mission in situations of poverty and injustice. As pilgrims we seek to understand the causes of poverty and to build relationships of solidarity based upon mutual respect. The ABM Modawa Pilgrimage to Dogura, the birthplace of the Anglican Church in Papua New Guinea is from 6-16 August 2012.

Vicki Luker, 2011 Modawa Pilgrim, will be speaking about her experiences. Meagan Morrison, 2012 ABM Pilgrimage co-leader will also give a brief introduction to the Pilgrimage. If you are interested but cannot attend, please contact Meagan Morrison on megsmogs@hotmail.com or 0424 108064.
