I was delighted to be the BMB representative at the Unity Mission and Development Board (UMDB) meeting from 30th May-4th June at Mount Morris Camp and Retreat Centre, Wisconsin, North America. We enjoyed spending time in fellowship with our international colleagues and learning about the recent work of the Moravian Church throughout the world. The timing of this meeting was particularly important in order to discuss the status of mission areas and mission provinces prior to Unity Synod in South Africa in September this year.
UMDB is composed of delegates from each of the four regions of the Worldwide Moravian Unity (Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, and North America) as well as a representative from each mission agency in the Unity and the Unity Women's Desk. Its charge is to monitor new mission work, evaluate the progression of established mission work, and coordinate partnerships between mission areas or mission provinces and mission agencies. We were grateful for the hospitality of the Board of World Mission and the congregation of Sturgeon Bay Moravian Church in Wisconsin.
