Here is one example of the kind of thing that happens when we come together to the
glory of God. There must be many more "take home" gifts, like the covenant that
the 20-odd members of Home Group #12 in the Visitors’ Programme made.
They have pledged:
"Grateful to God for our unity in Christ and for the gift of koinonia, we who have
shared in song, prayer, Bible study, fellowship and conversation in a home group
facilitated by Ruth Bakare of Zimbabwe during the 8th assembly of the World Council of
Churches meeting in Harare, December 3-14, 1998, do now covenant together to continue the
relationships we have begun, maintaining the fellowship and remaining accountable to one
another.
"As a first step. we will identify one specific action we hope to achieve back home,
inspired by our experiences here in Harare, and commit ourselves to communicate to others
in our group a progress report before our celebration of Easter on 4 April, 1999."
