Anglican Football League ‘Refreshing’ Addition

 DEAR EDITOR:

Congratulations to the organizers of the Anglican Football League. This is a refreshing addition to our Ministry to our young people and the building of relationships amongst our young people within the church and parishes. Also, this initiative, from my observation, has shown that our young people are creative and are willing to get involved in the life of the diocese in a deep and positive manner.

The formation and implementation of this league puts to rest the view that our Anglican young people do not have the church at heart and are totally missing from our church. There is still hope and we must allow them to blossom where they are planted.

The formation of the league, has also led to a coming together and interaction between the young people and some adults, as demonstrated in the support for the various teams in terms of finance, physical support, management, transport, refreshments, etc. All this reminds me of one of our recent Synod themes of our Diocese: “Building Relationships Through Christ”.

Once again, my heartiest congratulations to the organizers. I look forward to the day when all parishes would be involved, and the winning team could visit the various regions and even make a provincial tour to another diocese. Therefore, my dream is that in the near future, there could be a Provincial Tournament.

A little reminder to the organizers, teams, players, management and supporters: while it is a competition, remember to keep Jesus Christ at the centre of all things and seek His guidance at all times. I pray Almighty God’s blessings on you and hope you will grow from strength to strength with each succeeding year.

You can rely on me for support.
