BurmaLink
St. Stephens has been linked to the Anglican Church of the Province of Myanmar (Burma) since 1989. 

While the Province's diocesan link is with Winchester, our location - between Victoria Station and the Houses of Parliament - has enabled us to be something of a 'London - link' parish for the province. 

Our connection is also definitely an 'exchange': we have made three parish visits there and our Vicar has been on a solo visit; and have contributed towards shorter-term funding for Myanmar students when requested.

Through our link with the Anglican Church of the Province of Myanmar, we:

  •    fund an ordinand in training at Holy Cross Theological College, Yangon
  •    mark a Sunday annually as 'Burma Sunday'
  •    undertake some modest fundraising
  •    offer hospitality to visitors from Myanmar to London
  •    include Myanmar and Myanmar causes regularly in our Sunday intercessions

We also try and raise awareness about the country by updating a dedicated notice board, and displaying our Diocesan banners on the pillars in church on special occasions.

Email from Burma Link church received 23 Feb 2022

Greetings from Sittwe Diocese.
 
We hope you and your family are doing well. By the grce of God we are getting well.
By the grace of God, we just finished clergy retreat from Rakhine state and Lahmyo region. Unfortunately we could not meet all clergy from Parishes because of Covid and political issues.
Please pray for our sittwe diocese to be serving well during the hard situation as well as Myanmar. And also the Covid 19 virus is increasing day by day in Myamar.
 
I gave confirmation five young people last Sunday before communion service at Cathedral. And also I gave confirmation three Rakhine people on 16th at St. John, Kyaut Phu. It was a great bless from God. Because the Rakhine people is very hard to be came Christian.
We are trying to build faithful  diocese and to open new Parish in 2022.
 
Love from
