We were excited to gather once again for this year's JME Conference and spend time exploring the .rln course alongside the Reconciling Leaders Network (RLN).

It was a space to listen, reflect, share stories and explore what it means to follow Jesus in a complex and divided world.

Through story-sharing, conversation, Bible reflection and prayer, we reflected on peacemaking, justice and reconciliation.

A big thank you to our Difference facilitators, Jo and Kiera, for guiding us through the course and creating space for meaningful conversation.

War is a close and painful reality for people across the Middle East. Yet the Church continues to be present, serve and provide hope. 🕊️

This week, the Diocese of Jerusalem is holding its annual Synod in Amman, Jordan, where USPG is represented by the Revd Davidson Solanki, Senior Regional Manager for Asia & the Middle East.

In his opening address, Archbishop Hosam Naoum reminded the Synod that the Church gathers “as one family in Christ” and that:

“The Church is sustained not by human effort alone, but by the grace of God at work within her.”

For USPG, the Synod is an opportunity to celebrate a longstanding partnership with the Diocese of Jerusalem.

🏥 We accompany the diocese through its humanitarian response, including support for Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza and St Luke’s Hospital in Nablus, as well as training for young leaders.

As the Revd Davidson Solanki reflected in his address to the Synod, “This accompaniment is mutually enriching as we learn a lot about what it means to be a church in the context of conflict, pain and suffering.”

It was also a joy to celebrate the ordination of Deacon Saba Kerry, who was part of the first youth leadership course.

🙏 Please join us in prayer for the Diocese of Jerusalem, for the Synod and its discernment. Pray too for protection, peace, and for all who continue to find strength and hope in the Lord.

“You may come from another country.
You may have different customs and traditions.
But through our Christian faith, we recognise one another as brothers and sisters.”

With these words, the Indigenous Theologies and Advocacy gathering gets underway! 🇵🇭

Hosted by the Episcopal Church in the Philippines, Indigenous theologians, elders, bishops, clergy and partners from across the Anglican Communion have come together to consider how the Church might be transformed when Indigenous voices and wisdom are truly heard and valued.

At Winaca Eco-Cultural Village, this came alive as participants joined Cordilleran elders to explore how faith connects land, community and culture. Through prayer, shared food, music and dance, Indigenous traditions and wisdom demonstrated how to care more deeply for the land and for one another.

“Through Christ, we are no longer strangers.”

For USPG, this is what really matters.

And it sets the scene for the rest of the week: how do we walk together as one body of Christ? 🌿

Follow along for updates as the week progresses.

🌍 In Madagascar, communities are facing the devastating impacts of the climate crisis.

Rivers are polluted with plastic. Landfills are overflowing with waste. And the land communities depend on is under increasing pressure.

The Anglican dioceses of Madagascar have responded and are supporting Malagasy people to reclaim land, protect the environment and build a more resilient future. 💚

But more communities need support.

Will you help empower people on the frontlines of the climate crisis?

For Nigel, supporting the worldwide Anglican Church has been a commitment spanning decades. 🌍⛪

From first supporting USPG through his parish church to becoming a trustee in 2010, Nigel’s connection has introduced him to people and communities whose faith and witness have stayed with him - including a chance encounter with a Bishop from Myanmar.

Now, Nigel is continuing that journey by choosing to leave a gift to USPG in his will. 🩷

For Remember A Charity Week, 7-13 September, we’re celebrating the lasting difference gifts in wills can make.

Update from Nepal🇳🇵

We have been in close contact with Dean Prem Tamang and the Anglican Church in Nepal following the devastating floods in the north of the country.

Local church teams are providing food, drinking water, blankets and emergency shelter. 320 families have already received relief, with churches also providing shelter for hundreds of people who have been displaced.

USPG has released £10,000 from its Rapid Response Fund to support the Church’s ongoing response.

Please continue to uphold all in your prayers.
