As the world opened from pandemic restrictions, we again enjoyed meeting face-to-face with our partners and friends in 2022. Our joint Founder’s Day event with our partner SPCK was held at St. James the Less Church in Pimlico. In Lent, we launched the USPG bible study course, “Living Stones, Living Hope” from 1 Peter. The same letter was also the text of the Bible study for the Lambeth Conference in July 2022: thus, we were standing in solidarity with our sister and brother bishops preparing for this important meeting in the life of our communion. The course was launched in tandem with our successful Lent fundraising appeal, Living Hope, focusing on the work of our partner churches in Zambia and North India.
Our 2022 USPG Conference, also entitled “Living Stones, Living Hope” took place. It included worship, bible study and challenging global presentations on the themes of theological education, gender justice, legacies of slavery and ecological justice. Our speakers were the Rt Revd Reuben Mark, Deputy Moderator of the Church of South India, the Revd Suchitra Behera, Deacon in the Diocese of Barisal, Church of Bangladesh, Ms Basetsana Makena, Provincial Youth Representative, Anglican Church of Southern Africa and Mr Clifton Nedd, Caribbean Facilitator for the Anglican Alliance.
