2013
marks the fiftieth anniversary of
Global Fellowship and the Golden
Jubilee is being celebrated in
style at a number of events held during the week 10th –
17th August at Felden Lodge.
The theme for the events is Roots and Routes. GF wants to look
back to its roots; to understand the traditions, our shared history
and the way we have developed. But the anniversary is also
an opportunity to look forward to the routes we will take in the
future; how we will develop as a family of organisations, what our
focus will be, in which directions we will travel, and how we will
continue to equip young people on their journey with Christ.
Young Leaders’ Workshop
As the host organisation, fi ve places have been reserved
for young leaders aged 18 – 30 from the BB in the UK/RoI.
The week-long programme consists of activities, sports,
discussions and visits designed to enable young people to share
experiences, make life-long friendships, worship together and
learn from each other. This promises to be a time of inspiration
to future service and builds on recent workshops in Africa.
The cost for the week to include all food, accommodation
and programme is £100. Young leaders would need to get
themselves to Felden Lodge.
The General Conference
Every three years Global Fellowship gathers representatives
from within the family of organisations to discuss strategic
plans and elect the Executive Committee at a Council meeting.
This has been combined in 2013 with a week-long General
Conference for decision makers in all member organisations to
create seminars on issues that affect us all. This is the perfect
opportunity to build up your network of connections, fi nd new
solutions to common issues and be inspired by the different
ways we work towards our common mission.
The cost for the week which includes all food, accommodation
and programme activities, but excludes travel to Felden Lodge
is £150.
