Encounter Program

This project needs $10,000 in 2012.

Strong bonds are forged when people have time to listen to – and learn from each other. So it is with ABM and our Partner Churches. The Encounter Program allows especially-selected clergy and lay people from other countries to spend three months in ministry environments in Australia. The program enriches Australians by sharing in the lives of Anglicans from other parts of the Communion. These future leaders take home all that they learn and experience here, and the relationships formed make a positive difference to us all.

ABM matches visitors with Australian parishes who are interested in deepening their understanding of Anglicanism by sharing their lives with an Encounter visitor. Hosts are expected to cover most of the costs of the visit, but your donation will help plan visits and support hosts so that the project benefits both Australian Anglicans and our Partners.
