Council for Mission
Mission Matters podcast series continues with focus on Argentina
In the second episode of the Council for Mission’s Mission Matters podcast series, the Revd Stephen McElhinney is in conversation with the Revd Daniel Lescano, Vicar–General of the Diocese of Northern Argentina in the Anglican Church of South America. You’re welcome to listen in here.
Stephen and Daniel discuss various facets of their work and the Argentinian context. The diocese includes 187 Chaco churches in a vast geographic area amidst the economic pressures from high inflation and widespread poverty.
The Anglican Church has an extensive presence in indigenous communities where geographical barriers and cultural differences pose significant challenges. Daniel emphasises the importance of leadership training and community empowerment, including theological education and agricultural programmes, and expresses gratitude for support from the South American Mission Society (SAMS) and partnering churches.
With thanks to Stephen Fletcher, Diocesan Communications Officer for Tuam, Limerick and Killaloe for production and planning for this and the other podcasts in the series.
