Diocesan links

 

We have formal links with four dioceses in different parts of the world:
  • Kimberley and Kuruman in South Africa;
  • Nandyal in the Church of South India (ecumenical);
  • Växjö in the (Lutheran) Church of Sweden;
  • Jamaica and the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean

You can find out about each of these in their link pages below - and can join in prayer for them by following the diocesan prayer diary. 

We also have six Mothers' Union Wave of Prayer links:
  • Ahoada and Warri in Nigeria;
  • Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo;
  • Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea;
  • Southwark in the UK;
  • Victoria Nyanza in Tanzania.

To find out more about each of these, look under the Mothers' Union section

Our links offer a chance to share in prayer, study and action with Christians in very different contexts. Take a look at the individual pages to find out more - and contact the relevant link committee to get involved.
