Collectively, We Are Making A Difference
Live Your Calling
Our mission experience has been created to mobilize those who have had a calling to serve others, empower communities and develop leaders. This life changing experience starts in southern Spain where volunteers are hosted at the 285m2 “CC Base” whilst helping with local outreach projects. Volunteers are taken through “cross cultural” and leader development training before being deployed to Tanzania.
Lent 2018
Lent 2017
This year Bishop John chose Collective Calling as the overseas recipient. (See The European Anglican Summer 2016 and Spring 2017). Founded by Paul and Gemma Carr from the Costa del Sol West Anglican Church and sponsored in Scotland by Fr William Mounsey, a priest of the Diocese of Edinburgh and regular locum in the Diocese in Europe, Collective Calling’s work among refugees and migrants was supported by over sixty congregations in Edinburgh, Lothian and the Scottish Borders. (See page 4 on “read more”)
Collective Calling were invited to attend this years Diocese of Europe Synod, Spain. We had the opportunity to speak about the lives and experiences of refugees as we have seen it through our time working in refugee crisis. Since then we are honored to have been chosen by St Vincent’s Anglican Church, Portugal for this years Lent appeal.
St Vincent´s Church is part of the Diocese in Europe (a diocese of the Church of England) and a member of the Anglican Communion. The Chaplaincy has been serving the Algarve since 1963: you can read about their history on the About of their the Chaplaincy page. They are a diverse group of people united in seeking to follow Christ.
You can visit their site here: http://www.stvincentsalgarve.org
