Draft Diocesan Budget for 2017
Making Disciples in Challenging Times
†Martin and Diocesan Administrator Freda Chigumadzi presented the draft Diocesan Budget for 2017 to Diocesan Standing Committee on Saturday 20th August 2016.
They explained that there are some changes in line with the Diocesan priorities for the coming year - with special emphasis on the training of future Rectors and making disciples of children and young people. In line with these priorities there will also be changes in the Diocesan Staff. For the first time in many years we will have full time Youth and Children's Development Coordinator.
Over the next few months parishes will use this information to prepare their chapelry and parish budgets for 2016. They will then indicate to the Diocesan Office what amount they commit themselves to as a monthly pledge to the Diocese.

Bishop Martin's "Ad Clerum" for Manche Masemola (August) has been published
In it he reflects on what it means to call ourselves the "Rainbow Nation". Despite recent criticisms he believes it is still a valuable image - but we need to think about it a bit more deeply than has often been the case.

The Diocese is organised into 5 departments, and the Parishes are grouped into 7 Archdeaconries
The Parishes tab at the top of this page will lead you to the Archdeaconries and the parishes that make up each Archdeaconry. Most of our parishes are made up of many chapelries and congregations, each of which has the same "status" - we do not have "mother churches" or "outstations".
