Metropolitan
Henry Paul 's Working Visit to Sweden
19
- 23 December 1999
Introduction
This
working visit followed my working
visit to Ghana.
The working visit to Ghana was to
explore a broad range of Church involvement
in the development field particularly
in relation to Ghana's Strategic development
plan, the Vision 2020.
The
working visit to Sweden was to explore
particular angles of Church involvement
in Africa's development (in North-South
relationship), particularly where rich
development-traditions and resources of
European historic Churches, the new thinking
generating among some academics, and the
dynamic churchmanship in Africa parishes
meet each other, in their services that
improve conditions for people in poverty
and the many adults who are massively
sliding into abject poverty day by day
in Africa.
For
this working visit, I needed a partner
who could relate to both African and Swedish
contexts, and could speak both English
and Swedish.
The
Sunday 19th December: was spent meditatively
and with fellowship at the house. I had
arrived the past mid-night, and needed
to rest. We had fellowship with some members
of the Sweden ALFA around the Word of
God and objectives of the visit.
