Final Day of the Round Table Meetings

8/9/2014

Today was another great day spent at the round table conference. The morning was spent listening to the remaining partners involved in the diocese. There are a lot of great things happening here! That included a report of all the 'sister to sister' parish pairings. Carolyn reported on the link Christ the Redeemer, Pender Harbour, has with Kigeme Parish and the history behind it. Roger and Alayne reported on there relationship with Bugarama Parish as well! It was also great to hear from the pastors of those parishes in how they feel the relationship has gone and the feedback from their parishioners.

Dr. Rev. Keith Andrews and Amy Fabey from Living Faith Church in Arizona with Archdeacon Moses from Taba Parish.

Roger and Alayne Adams with Archdeacon Emmanuel from Bugarama Parish, and Ananias translating.

Margaret and Rev. Jeremy Hyde from St. Martins, Coventry with Pastor Faustin from Murico Parish with Anastase translating.

After lunch, a small group of us wrote some resolutions to come out of these meetings and all we heard. We were given about 45 minutes to do this, then the whole group was brought back together to look them over. Some editing happened, a couple more added and then we had a list of 13 resolutions.

Then the Bishop officially closed the meetings! We jumped into the Bishops vehicle to come back to the guesthouse. We left Roger and Alayne behind to continue networking and to enjoy another choir.

Pastor Dr. Felicien met us at the guesthouse and we presented the vet supplies that were brought, as well as the microscope. Felicien loaded the two rubbermaid tubs onto a motorcycle (caused a little concern) and drove them up to the office while we followed with the microscope. Rachael, Leah and Felicien had a lot of fun unloading the supplies!
