CURRENT ISSUE

Length of Days

To begin this issue, I got a chance to sit down and chat with our new Bishop-Elect, Rev. Naboth Manzongo. In this interview, he shares his interests and hobbies, information about his prayer life and ministry, and some of the lessons he has learned throughout his life.

Then, on behalf of Alongside Hope (formerly PWRDF), Kaitlyn Duthie-Kannikkatt writes on the Grow Hope campaign. She tells us about what it is, how it works, how Manitobans are helping those all the way in Marsabit County, Kenya, and what each of us can do to support the project.

Following this, Rev. Theo Robinson says goodbye to the Diocese of Rupert’s Land as he moves to B.C. at the end of the summer. Looking back, he reflects on his faith journey and offers some advice for those who may be wondering what the point of going to church is.

Lastly, Rev. Andrew Rampton looks at how the patterns of daily prayer reflect the rhythms of our entire lives, not just our individual days. He does this by looking at how morning prayer reflects new life, midday prayer reflects the energy of midlife, evening prayer reflects the wisdom of age, and night prayer reflects the preparations for our death.

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you” (2 Corinthians 13:13).
