John Muhanji, FUM Director of African Ministries, Takes Sabbatical

Friends United Meeting’s Director of African Ministries, John Muhanji, will be on a three-month sabbatical leave from March through May. During this time he will be a scholar-in-residence at Pendle Hill Study and Retreat Center in Pennsylvania for ten weeks, during which he will be able to share in the daily rhythm of learning, work, and worship with other program leaders and scholars. His main objective is to showcase the African voice in Quaker theology.

In his absence all office and farm operations will be taken care of by the able staff at the FUM Africa Ministries Office. We wish John well as he takes time away to re-energize and hope that the time spent at Pendle Hill will give him access to experiences he would never be able to come across within his area of jurisdiction, and that the knowledge acquired during the program will be shared through written journals for the Quaker audience.
