Ghana Companionship
Sharing in God’s Work of Reconciliation
The Anglican Diocese of Cape Coast in Ghana and the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta have been companions in ministry since 2017.
The Diocese of Atlanta entered into this relationship as part of a commitment to love like Jesus and seek healing from the harms of slavery and racism. The Diocese of Cape Coast entered into this relationship as part of a commitment to God’s mission and a strategic vision to grow the Diocese for mission and ministry.
Together, we share in God’s work of reconciliation through a relationship focused on:
- Prayer – Communicate regularly about how to pray for one another
- Spiritual Growth – Share worship, learning, and parish-to-parish partnership
- Racial Healing – Learn about the history of slavery and its ongoing effects
- Education – Explore partnerships with schools or among young people
- Formation – Train lay and clergy leaders for mission.
- Financial Sustainability – Build resources for ongoing ministry
- Pilgrimage – Visit with one another when it is possible to travel
