COMPANION DIOCESE SUNDAY
The 2004 Diocesan Convention adopted a resolution from the Commission on Global Mission designating the second Sunday after the Epiphany as Companion Diocese Sunday. Congregations are encouraged to publish information on our companion dioceses—Diocese of Southeast Mexico and Diocese of Renk, Sudan—in their newsletters and bulletin for that Sunday, offer special prayers for our companion dioceses, take up a collection for our companion dioceses, and offer presentations to their members on the companion dioceses and their respective countries.
Additional information and materials to support diocesan companionship relationships with our linked dioceses of Southeast Mexico and Renk, Sudan, can be obtained by contacting the commission subcommittee chairs for the companion dioceses: Jackie Kraus (Diocese of Renk) and Jackie Totsch (Southeast Mexico).
Though World Mission Sunday offers a different theme every year, materials aren’t dated so that you may use any theme that is most relevant for your congregation. Find previous years’ themes and materials at the Anglican and Global Relations website.
