Statement from Msalato Theological College

The following is an official statement from Msalato Theological College regarding my recent blog posting:

The administration of Msalato Theological College sincerely regrets the inaccurate information in the blog entry entitled, A Missionary’s Perspective on Lambeth, published on August 8, 2008.  The college would like to reiterate the Notice published at the beginning of the blog which states that the entry was solely the views and thoughts of the author, Stephen Day, and that it does not represent the official position of The Episcopal Church, its Mission Personnel Office, the Young Adult Service Corp, the Anglican Church of Tanzania, or of this college. 

Lambeth this year was expected to be filled with tension and division.  We were quite surprised by Stephen’s analysis of the proceedings.  For some reason he dwelt on the divisions of the church and brought them here to central Tanzania.  We find that most unfortunate as by all accounts the spirit of Lambeth this year was one of reconciliation and unity brought about by prayer and spiritual reflection.  This same spirit of cooperation and unity is present between the administration of St. John’s University and Msalato Theological College.  God’s purpose and mission for the church is moving forward.  We are sorry that for some reason Stephen centered on negative aspects and apologize for any pain or insult caused at St. John’s University with whom the administration of this college has been working hand in hand for the last several months.
