'ANGLICANS ABLAZE'-History,Growth And Testimonies in SA

Anglicans Ablaze is one of Africa's largest and most popular Christian gatherings. What began as a two day meeting to "seek and listen to God's will" for the Church in Southern Africa has become a major conference for the whole Church.In 2010, around twenty leaders from across the Anglican Church of Southern Africa (ACSA) met in the city of Kloof in South Africa reports allAfrica. After time spent in prayer and worship they received words and pictures regarding this conference.
"God spoke to us and we began to plan," said the Revd Trevor Pearce, Director for the provincial church growth institute called Growing the Church (GtC) which is organising the Anglicans Ablaze conference."Our first conference was a provincial leaders conference and took place in the city of Durban in October 2011. The aim was to listen to the needs of our people, share the vision for a life-changing event, inspire people and prepare for a much larger event to take place in 2012," he added.The team's common denominator was having a passion for mission, evangelism, church planting and church growth. "This was the challenge that we put before them: 'What is it that God wants us to do together, which we will not be able to accomplish on our own?'"
Primate of the Anglican Church in Southern Africa, Archbishop Thabo Makgoba said the first conference in October 2012 had been "a wonderful and inspiring time.""It was an amazing celebration of the goodness of God, and of our distinctive though challenging Anglican calling," he added.

Random talks and 2014 projectioons- Pastors

  Tunde Fagbenle. Image: punchng.com And I say projections, not predictions. Prediction is what the herd of religious pastors, especially of pentecostal hue do in Nigeria particularly at this time of ushering a new year in. I have never stopped  to be baffled by it all, those hoodwinking balderdash they call predictions. And I'm more angrily perplexed at those(and they are in the millions) who lend their ears, let alone of hearts, to them. I don't believe in any of them. Indeed I don't even bother to listen or read to them both the message and the messenger. It's nothing more than a half- clever juggling of probabilities, no more than the pool gambling permutations, two from five,or any three from ten!

Bishop Armash Nalbandian, primate of the Armenian Church of Damascus, says he received word on facebook from a fellow bishop in Aleppo that two congregants were traveling when opposition fighters stopped their bus, made them present their Armenian IDs, and then took them away. The fighters, Nalbandian recounts, returned to the fellow passengers...
