 Over the past year, five Canadian and five African dioceses have engaged in a diocese-to-diocese theological dialogue on matters relating to human sexuality and to mission.
Our diocese has been trading thoughts and ideas by exchanging academic papers and letters with the Diocese of Southern Malawi. The two D of NW members charged with this ongoing correspondence are Steve Schuh and Markus Duenzkofer.
