Categories Provincial Notices A Lent Course for 2021 – ACSA Post date 26th January 2021 A commendation by Archbishop Thabo Makgoba Dear People of God We enter Lent this year at a time of unprecedented suffering as a consequence of Covid-19. But while, thanks to medical science and collective action, we can be confident that this pandemic too shall pass, the “hidden pandemic” of our times – gender-based violence – remains deeply rooted in our society. It is with that in mind that Provincial Standing Committee commissioned “Living Holy and Healthy Relationships” as the Lent Course for 2021. As the introduction says, “Given that GBV brings such deep devastation to individuals, families and communities, we are often overwhelmed by the disastrous effects of this violence.” But just as we can overcome Covid-19, so too can we overcome GBV if we dedicate as many resources, both spiritually and through collective action, to uprooting this evil. I commend warmly “Living Holy and Healthy Relationships” and appeal to you to engage earnestly with it, mustering all the energy you can to working among those in your patch of God’s Kingdom to bring about the changes in outlook and behaviour needed to end permanently this scourge. To the Provincial Liturgical Committee and the Parish of St Francis of Assisi Parish, Parkview, we extend our thanks for the fine work they have done. God bless. †† Thabo Cape Town 2021-ACSA-Lent-Course-Holy-and-Healthy-RelationshipsDownload ← Elective Assemblies Postponed → New SA Covid guidelines – ACSA – Feb 4 11 replies on “A Lent Course for 2021 – ACSA” We are grateful for the Lent course and the initiative.
