The Church Education Foundation (CEF), has recently been organized in the UK, as an ecumenical initiative "to harness Christian resources for the immense task of building on the part the churches have played in the past in the provision of education in South Africa. Many of the towering figures who have remade South Africa were educated at church schools, and the CEF recognizes that the Church has an equally important role in the `new South Africa' in making basic education available to all".
Advertisement for the upcoming 2008 Colleges and Universities of the Anglican Communion Conference (CUAC) to be held from May 26-31, 2008 at Chung Chi College of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. "The conference will explore three perceived 'marks' of an Anglican-shaped university/college education: Excellence, Character, Service. This Conference is intentionally set in the Asia-Pacific region to explore possible directions in higher education for institutions from all over the world who have been shaped by Anglican faith and practice, but now function to serve multi-cultural, globally-interactive societies and economies".
"Ninety-two delegates from Anglican Church Colleges and Universities throughout the world assembled in June [2005] at the two sites of the Canterbury and York for the Triennial Conference of the Colleges and Universities of the Anglican Communion [CUAC}." The theme of the 2005 Conference was "Learn Through Each Other's Living". Speakers included the Rt. Rev. Stephen Sykes, Canon Nicholas Sagovsky, the Rt. Rev. John Sentamu, Dr. Linda Chisholm, Canon John Hall, the Rt. Rev. Mano Rumalshah, the Rev. Dr. Sabina Akire and Dr. Gerald Pillay. "One of the features of the Conference were the contributions of delegates, with papers and presentations sharing the insights each had brought from their cultures, disciplines, teaching, and programs. Of special interest among these were reports from colleges in Liberia, Haiti, and Zimbabwe and their continuing dedication and contributions to their societies during times of major conflict and civil upheaval". With TEAC (Theological Education in the Anglican Communion) CUAC is assisting in the formation of a network (via the Internet) to coordinate, focus and resource theological training in colleges throughout the Communion. CUAC "decided to explore the possibility of holding the next Triennial in 2008 in the east following the invitation from Chung Chi college in Hong Kong".
Photograph with caption. Participants from 25 nations representing Colleges and Universities of the Anglican Communion met in August 1999 for the Third International Conference at Trinity College, Toronto, Canada. The Conference theme `Forward Together for the Common Good' was illumined by scores of papers under four various sub-themes: leadership, service, spirituality, environment and technology. It also included an impressive workshop on the use of Internet technology in education. "One very major decision made at Toronto was that the US Association of Episcopal Colleges will change its name to Colleges and Universities of the Anglican Communion. The two organizations will become one, CUAC having access to endowments and more substantial funding and the prospect of expanding program and services to its member institutions".
"The Colleges and Universities of the Anglican Communion (CUAC) will be holding its next Triennial Meeting in Tokyo from 15-18 March [2002] in Tokyo at Rikkyo (St. Paul's) University, an Anglican university that is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Japan. There are nine Anglican universities in Japan, as well as Christian universities of other denominations. CUAC is an organisation of about 140 colleges and universities around the world which have, or retain, a direct link to the Anglican Communion." "The theme for the Tokyo conference has been set as `The Role of a Christian University in a Secular and Multi-Faith Society'."
"As members of the global church and disciples of Jesus Christ we never stop discovering new things as we learn more about what it means to follow Christ. Studying the Bible together and sharing our stories of faith with one another is an essential part of being a Christian in today's world". "The Anglican Church across the world has always been at the forefront of education, establishing schools and training centres as part of its mission in local communities. Today the church is still actively promoting life-long learning and in this issue of 'Anglican World' there are many examples of how it is helping transform lives through training and education".
"There are about 130 colleges and universities around the world which were founded by, or maintain links with, one of the Anglican Communion churches around the world. .... In 1993, the heads -- and as well as and many of the staff/chaplains/faculty -- from these colleges gathered in Canterbury, UK and founded a member-based association called 'the Colleges and Universities of the Anglican Communion ' (CUAC)." "This coming May 2008, CUAC will be meeting in Hong Kong for the Sixth Triennial Meeting of the association, which has previously met in such centres as New Delhi, Toronto, Tokyo and York (UK)". The Pacific Chapter of CUAC has identified three "marks" that they consider characteristic of "an Anglican-shaped university/college education. They identified three characteristics: Excellence, Character, Service. They reflected that while many of their western colleagues currently seem to focus primarily on Excellence they sense that for eastern cultures the role of Character and Service are just as important. ... the Hong Kong Triennial will begin an east-west dialogue on just how these distinctive 'marks' of Anglican higher education are achieved, and when they are more 'caught' than 'taught' -- since the formal curricula of a university is set by its disciplines". "Of special interest will be an overnight trip to mainland China to Guangzhou which will include a visit to Sun Yat-sen University, which originally was a Christian university (Zhongshan). We will also visit Guandong Union Theological Seminary and hear about ministry in China".
The Trinity Institute for Christianity and Culture(TICC) is a new ecumenical and international initiative based in London, England. "The programme of the Institute from the outset insists upon a holistic approach to learning, in which prayer, spirituality and worship are essential ingredients. `They continued steadfastly in the apostles teaching; the fellowship; the breaking of bread and the prayers'. (Acts 2:42)" "The TICC has three core approaches through which it hopes to achieve its aim: re-envisioning Christian believers about their own faith, its distinctive characteristics and fundamental teachings; relating a living faith to different cultures and other faiths; and equipping the churches with resources and skills to forward the changing relationship between Christianity and the challenge of diverse global cultures". "The three key people involved in the initiative are the Rt. Rev. Michael Marshall, Director and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, the Revd Nadim Nassar, Principal and Chairman of the Educational and Theological Board and the Revd Canon Dr. Bruce Duncan, Chairman of the International Consultants Board".

'Man-power in the Twentieth-Century Church', as its name implies, concentrates on the one subject of reinforcements. It is primarily addressed to those not yet in close contact with the work of the Church overseas. Conditions of publication in war-time have made it impossible for the Missionary Council to assume its usual collective responsibility for the text. .... Canon Campbell, the Secretary of the Council, was asked to do this, and I am sure that all who read 'Man-power in the Twentieth-Century Church' will be grateful to him for the way in which he has dealt with the subject. He has given us a Report which is as interesting as it is valuable". -- Foreword.
