World Church Committee

Much of the work of the Committee is to continue to raise awareness of the Church in other parts of the world, and especially within the Dioceses with which Truro has formally established links with Strangnas, in Sweden, and Umzimvubu in South Africa.

Whilst there are increasingly strong links between parishes in Cornwall and Umzimvubu, and a regular exchange of personnel between Cornwall and Sweden and South Africa, there are many other long established parochial links with other parts of the world church, including Peru, central Africa, India and South America.

The emphasis today is increasingly on partnership in the Gospel, rather than simply a giving of material goods. It is increasingly apparent, as the Lambeth Conference in 2008 served to underline, that the Church in England has much to learn from its younger sister Churches of the Anglican Communion.
