Map aids prayer (21-06-07)


A brightly-coloured map of Zimbabwe was dedicated by the Bishop of Woolwich in Southwark Cathedral recently.
The Diocese of Southwark has a long-established partnership link with the


Anglican Church in Manicaland, Central Zimbabwe and Matabeleland. The Dean of Southwark says, ‘As the mother Church of the Diocese of Southwark, it is good to have such a beautiful and visible sign of our partnership link with Zimbabwe. We want it to be used as a focus for prayer for Zimbabwe and her people at this difficult time, and we want the people of Zimbabwe to know they are in our prayers.’
Designed and made by two artists from Southern Africa, Mbuyisa and Moji Maphalala and English artist Edith Slee (in photo), the map incorporates traditional Zimbabwean fabric and beadwork, with colours mixed from red Zimbabwean soil. – Southwark Cathedral is next door to London Bridge station. All are welcome.
