International Consultation Challenges, Opportunities, and Possibilities in a Globalized World Maximilian International University College At the Heart of Development Education and Professional Practice. In partnership with the Institute for Community and Development Studies Association Serving to bring together Faith, Education and Development, in modern and post-modern, local and multi-national situations The Landscape     The world we live in is fast urbanising; and the population of each city is fast becoming multi-national and global. Formerly, the cities lived in the nations. Now the nations live in the cities. To think local, is also to think both multi-national and global. In a multi-national and market-driven environment, poverty is often seen as a sub-culture, but not necessary an issue of injustice. Under this position, poverty reduction schemes are designed primarily to deal with the causalities of the market, and not necessarily to promote a common economic development foundation for everyone. Programmes for sustainable development and capital growth that also aim at poverty alleviation/reduction in particular contexts may have to consider seriously these considerations. We live in both modern and post-modern world, and we work in a world that is both local and multi-national. The environment also is largely market-driven. These underpin the tasks and the depths of our Consultations. In general, our Consultations will be identifying practical tools for sustainable development, which are efficient within cultures but also meet current market realities challenging ground-level practitioners from the Faith, Education, and Development sectors to achieve sustainable development programmes in market-driven situations.

Personal Refreshing with The Apostolic Congress of Great Britain

Bishop Henry welcomes you to London Spiritual Retreat & Experience

Scripture May my meditation be pleasing to Him, as I rejoice in the LORD (Psalm 104:34)

The Processes and Schedule for the London
Spiritual Retreat & Experience

[A] This exercise begins as a reflective-activity on one's own dreams and calling. It proceeds to a formidable self-discovery of Christ in a new way. From here, a participant is expected to lay a positive hold on the higher calling of God in Christ Jesus - and experience a personal refreshing for an effective ministry.

[B] A report of the experience indicating a future pathway into a higher calling will be expected from participants on their return.

[C] For purposes of self-examination, each participant will work on his/her future pathway with convincing references to the Incarnate Christ, He/She will also produce a spiritual check-list or an evaluation outline.

[D] Two study areas will support the experience: (a) Mediterranean Christological Images (b) The Christ Glorifies and the Church today. Guiding notes will be given to all participants. Further assistance will be given to those who make specific requests on a specific subject.

Reason for this Spiritual Exercise:

The Exercise exists to support individuals to foot their personal visions or aspirations with regards to God's High Calling on the person - through the Incarnate and Glorified Christ. A participant may also
use the exercise to strengthen his/her spiritual competencies.

In the last 20 years, Churches have majored on personal salvation, faith-based victorious life, holistic ministry, and finally to community impact. The Spirit of Christ is pointing to the need for personal refreshing in order to stay effective.

Without question, the global fullness of Christ is yet to be experienced. For some, this is the higher calling!!

London has become a centre of the three major Faiths that claim the heritage of Abraham. God called Abraham at a point in his life to a cosmic experience of Christ. God's higher calling in Christ as well
as the blessedness of nations were set on that specific heritage.

London has been one of the spiritually rich environments in Europe. St Paul is London's patron saint.
St Paul always sought to discover the cosmic image of the Incarnate and Glorified Christ in the city.
This spiritual refreshing exercise is dedicated to St. Paul.
