Dioceses of Kimberley & Kuruman and Oxford: 2023 Link Summit

From the 11th to the 14th of October, members of the Diocese of Kimberley & Kuruman and Diocese of Oxford came together in a link summit that drew together over one hundred participants in the UK and South Africa. 

The summit's watchword was "Encourage one another and build each other up" (1 Thess. 5:11) - and over four days of in-person and online meetings, delegates did precisely that..

They came to understand more about each other's contexts through presentations and conversations; shared daily Bible studies, evening prayer, and two eucharists; learned about key missional areas such as tackling gender-based violence and working for climate justice; and reflected on how we can faithfully serve Christ in our own contexts and as partners in the Gospel.

Because this was a hybrid summit, much of the material can be found online. Take a look!
