At last - some photos!

Now we are not rushing from one place to the next, I've had time to conquer the photo issue! So here are just a few of the hundreds of photos that we took during our stay. I'm sure the others will post more of the teachers at the conference. I led the daily Eucharists and did some plenary sessions; and also did a lot of background stuff. The others had much more contact with the teachers than I did.

Meeting at Manchester Airport we had no idea what was ahead of us, but we were all set and ready to go! Our cases just made the weight limits!!

Monday morning it was off to Rabbuni, the RC Conference Centre in Klerksdorp .....

...... unloading all our gear, shifting furniture and setting up our Team Room.

All too soon the teachers began to arrive, and were almost ready for them. The teachers were divided into 5 groups, designated by coloured badges, and one member of the team allocated to each group. Chris and I had badges of 5 colours, because we belonged to all groups and none.

 Tuesday afternoon, it was games and crafts. Clare and Libby took advantage of the good weather until the thunderstorm began!

Can't quite remember what Chenda was doing here, but I know she was doing it because I heard her!

The altar frontal for the final service made from cardboard cartons gleaned from the shops, string, chalk, coloured paper and bits of blue cloth.

As part of their commissioning, the teachers were all given a bag of resources at the end of the Final Eucharist.  They showed their appreciation in a typically African way - by dancing and singing.

By the end we were exhausted, but still smiling, and all vowing to come again. 

  £1,600 from the congregation at St James the Great, Clayton, for the building of the church at Matlwang being handed to the Dean.

My personal highlight of our day at Pilanesburg.
