Church-Chapel
Chapel: The Global Church--Focus on Africa
Join us for a service of African song, reflection, and prayer as we consider our place in the global church. We will have opportunity for everyone to sign a letter of support for Swana Sidonie, as well as letters of protest addressed to the State Department.
Ms. Swana Sidonie is a chaplain at the Christian University of Kinshasa (http://upcpublicrelations.org) and secretary of the Association of Mennonite Women Theologians of Congo (ATMCO). She is married to Falanga Gitulo and they live in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. They are active in the Mennonite churches which relate to Mennonite Church USA. For more information about the work of Swana and the partnership with Mennonite Church USA, see http://www.mennoniteusa.org/news/news/jan-march07/03_07_07.htm#1.
