The Archbishop of Cape Town writes:
BISHOP Ellinah Ntfombi Wamukoya, the first woman Anglican bishop in Africa, died on 19 January, aged 69, after being admitted to hospital and receiving oxygen therapy for Covid-19.
After a career as a civil servant, she was ordained priest in 2005 after a long involvement with the diocese of Swaziland, in the Southern African nation now called eSwatini (formerly Swaziland). She served as an Anglican chaplain to the University of eSwatini and was elected bishop in 2012.
Before her ordination, she had been the Town Clerk of Manzini, eSwatini’s commercial hub, having earlier served as the City Planner. She held a Master’s degree in town and regional planning.
A CAMPAIGNER who founded a Christian charity with his wife more than 30 years ago has received an award from the Archbishop of Canterbury. Dave Bagley, CEO of Urban Outreach Bolton, is one of the recipients of the 2021 Lambeth Awards, which recognise outstanding contributions to the Church and wider society. Past winners include scientists, doctors, musicians and activists. Dave, 56, feels ‘honoured’ to receive The Langton Award for Community Service, but says that ‘this award is for the people of Bolton’ – and gives credit to the hundreds of volunteers who work with the charity, especially during the difficult times over the last 12 months.
