SUMMARY:Tewkesbury Abbey Theology Forum: The Work of CMS in Paraguay: the Énxet people and their Bible
DESCRIPTION:‘The Work of CMS in Paraguay: the Énxet people and their Bible’ is the next Tewkesbury Abbey Theology Forum.\n\nThis talk is by Tim Curtis. Tim is a Church Mission Society mission partner\, from Tewkesbury\, who has lived and worked amongst the indigenous Enxet people of Paraguay as a linguist and bible translator since 1983. He has also helped dubbing film into indigenous languages and will talk about some of the challenges he has faced.\n\nThe Énxet are an indigenous people of about 17\,000 living in the Gran Chaco region of western Paraguay. Originally hunter-gatherers\, many are now forced to supplement their livelihood as labourers on the cattle ranches that have encroached upon their dwindling natural forest habitat.  Only a handful of Énxet are still maintaining their traditional way of life\, while the majority live in small settlements.\n\n\nThe meeting is on Tuesday 12 May\, in the Parish Hall\, with drinks and snacks from 7pm. The talk starts at 7.30pm.\n\n\n\nTim’s talk will give us a fascinating insight into the life and challenges for these indigenous people\, as well as telling us all about his work with them.

SUMMARY:Community of Practice for CFM - Children’s and Youth ministry
DESCRIPTION:A new opportunity to develop a fresh or existing group in skills of reflective practice and theological reflection in children’s and youth ministry\, leading to module accreditation at Level 4 (Foundation level\, 10 credits). \nGroups will meet on a regular basis to explore issues related to their practical ministry\, with an opportunity to develop skills of reflective practice and receive input and guided learning. Participants will keep a learning journal that will be used as the basis for assessment for accreditation. \nContent of the sessions will be decided by the participants and learning will be supplemented by independent study including use of online learning resources and reading lists. \nThe programme will suit volunteers and paid workers wishing to develop their practice and will be an introduction to study at foundation  degree level\, providing credits towards further study. \nThe groups will be facilitated by Pete White\, CYPF Tutor in partnership with diocesan officers already engaged with the workers. \nThis will be a pilot project aimed at testing this model as an alternative way of delivering accredited training in the worker’s context rather than in the college environment. \nCanon Dr Pete White is Tutor for Mission and Ministry with Children\, Young People & Families at Ripon College\, Cuddesdon. Pete was previously Director of Children & Youth at Peterborough Diocese where he led a culture change project\, delivered training to clergy and lay workers\, and led an intern programme.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The future is multicultural – so what’s the problem?
DESCRIPTION:‘The Future is Multicultural – So What’s the Problem?’ with Dr Harvey Kwiyani on Monday 18 May\, from 7.30pm to 8.30pm. \nDr Harvey Kwiyani explores the deeper challenges beneath the surface of diversity\, including questions of power\, belonging\, \nleadership\, and theology. \nThe future of both the church and mission is undeniably multicultural – shaped by migration\, global Christianity\, and shifting cultural realities. Yet for many leaders\, this future feels more complicated than hopeful. Why is that? \nDr Harvey Kwiyani\, CMS Pioneer Mission Training African Christianity Programme Lead and lecturer\, will draw on his wider work on cultural diversity and decolonising mission to offer a fresh vision for understanding cultural difference not as a problem to solve\, but as a gift to receive – alongside practical insights for leading churches into a more shared\, participatory life in God’s mission. \nBook your place here →
