As Fairtrade is celebrating its 20th anniversary for this year’s
Fairtrade Fortnight, we’re featuring two great products for any
budget that support local producers in Africa and South America:
chocolate and gold!
Spring is on its way and the gloom of
winter will soon be a distant memory as
colour bursts forth in our gardens and the
countryside, and the days grow longer
once again. Many of us grumble about how
commercial Valentine’s Day has become with
plastic hearts and cheap chocolates, but it
gives us a good opportunity to think about
our values as well as what we love and how
we want to protect it.
For the more traditional among us, Valentine’s
Day is a time to show your loved ones you care
by sending them a card or a gift. As Fairtrade is
celebrating its 20th anniversary for this year’s
Fairtrade Fortnight, we’re featuring two great
products for any budget that support local
producers in Africa and South America: chocolate
and gold!
The 14th of February also gives us the opportunity
to think about what else we love whether that is
walking the dog, wildlife or people. All of these
things could be affected by changes to our climate
and Christian Aid are launching their new climate
justice campaign, One Million Ways, to encourage
us to make small changes in our lives that will
have a big impact on the whole world.
Any time of year is a good time to be developing
our relationships with other people and in this
edition you will not only read about the twinning
between North Queensferry and Hohoe, Ghana,
but also about our relationship with the Synod of
the Nile in Egypt. ■

All-Loving God,
Whose Son was a refugee in Egypt,
We thank you for the faithful witness of the Egyptian Church
down the centuries
and for its vibrant vision even today, as it seeks
to embrace the lost, stand beside the beleaguered and welcome the refugee.
As your people in Egypt, and indeed the wider Middle East, face challenges daily,
Keep them strong and faithful.

PRAYER
FOCUS:
The Protestant
Church in Egypt
The Protestant Church in Egypt is under the
direction of the Synod of the Nile, one of the
Church of Scotland’s partner churches.
The number of Christians in Egypt is always
open for debate, but current estimates
suggest that there are between 8 and 12
million Christians in Egypt, out of a population
of around 85 million. The vast majority of
those are Coptic and Orthodox, but around 1
million are Protestant. The work of the Synod
is focused on reaching out to them, many of
whom live in very difficult situations, being
a minority in a Muslim majority country, and
where extremism is never far away.
The Synod is an incredibly vibrant organisation,
with many different areas of work. The Synod
supports its pastors and their congregations,
encourages and facilitates Church planting,
and trains a large number of people at their
Theological College in Cairo, set up by a
Scotsman 151 years ago. Church planting in
particular is central to the vision of the Synod as
it seeks to reach those who have no access to a
worshipping community at present.
Egypt is a very poor country with almost
50% of people living in poverty, and so the
social arm of the Synod (CEOSS) is incredibly
important for many people. This is an
incredible organisation which focuses on the
rights of the poor and marginalised in society
to healthcare and education, gives microloans
to encourage new businesses, and works in
conflict resolution at the highest levels.
We look forward to developing our links with
the Synod over the coming years, by learning
from them, sharing in their excitements, and
supporting them in their difficulties. ■

On the 13 January one hundred people gathered
outside the Steeple Church in Dundee for the
unveiling of a memorial for Scottish missionary
Mary Slessor. The Deputy Lord Provost was
joined by a set of twins from Glebelands Primary
School, Hope and Abbie Beattie who unveiled
the commemorative standing stone. The stone
itself came from Craigenlow Quarry, a few miles
west of Aberdeen where Mary Slessor was born.
Mary Slessor was an extraordinary woman
who followed in the footsteps of her hero David
Livingstone and travelled to Calabar, Nigeria on
the SS Ethiopia in 1876.
Mary Slessor was not a conventional Victorian
missionary, but learned the language of the
people and lived among them. She is credited
with saving the lives of hundreds of people during
her time in west Africa, by stopping sacrifices,
brutal punishments and changing attitudes to the
births of twins. She was also passionate about
education, particularly of girls, and was keen
to develop trade opportunities with a view to
stemming the slave trade.
Celebrations are also taking place in Nigeria and
the moderator Rt Rev John Chalmers took part in
the Church of Nigeria’s service of thanksgiving for
the life of Mary Slessor on 18th January, as part of
a series of events in her honour.
There are still more celebratory events to come
in Scotland. Visit the Mary Slessor Foundation
website to find out more:

Fairtrade Gold
Gold jewellery never goes out of fashion with
consumers across the globe spending $135 billion
a year on it. However, 90% of the labour force
involved in gold mining is made up of artisanal
and small-scale miners who are often forced into
running informal operations as mining rights are
generally given to large-scale companies. Miners
face hazardous conditions with little or no health
and safety measures, despite being at risk from
toxic mercury and cyanide used in the extraction
process. These miners are at the end of long and
complex supply chains and have little option but to
Most of us are familiar with Fairtrade chocolate
and nowadays the Fairtrade logo is even carried
by many larger confectionary brands, but not all!
90% of the world’s cocoa is grown on small
family farms by about 6 million famers who earn
their living from growing and selling cocoa beans.
It is a delicate crop and must be protected from
wind, sun, pests and disease. The international
price of cocoa beans is rising in response to high
demand, but the supply is dwindling as disease
and age are damaging trees and many young
people do not want to farm due to the poor
prospects. Farmers are not benefiting from the
rise in prices and remain in poverty as they cannot
keep up with rising production costs and the cost
of daily living.

WHAT’S YO
The Lima CoP (Conference of the Parties to
the UN Framework Convention on Climate
Change) saw over 190 countries attempting
to negotiate a deal on climate change to
limit emissions from developed countries
and help developing countries adapt to the
impact of climate change and develop low
carbon economies.
It saw governments making new
commitments and pledging to work together.
While many were optimistic about the
outcome, the critics were less impressed,
arguing specific plans to cut emissions were
not agreed.
Churches were represented at the Lima
conference and an official side event
drew attention to concerns of churches
in developing countries about the human
implications of climate change and the need
to promote climate justice.
The road to reducing global carbon emissions
and effective adaptation to climate change
remains long; however, action among faith
groups is growing as demonstrated by the
Religions for the Earth Conference held in New
York City in September 2014.
As we approach the 21st climate conference
in Paris in December 2015 there will be lots
of opportunities for you to get involved in
demanding action is taken to tackle climate
change, so why not get involved? ■

The Council works in many countries worldwide, usually
on the basis of partnership with national churches and
institutions and always with a view to involving church
members in Scotland in the development of the work.
Our mission is to empower everyone to discover,
experience and share the challenges and opportunities
gained by connecting with the World Church.
Get the latest news concerning our partners and the
World Church by subscribing to our weekly e-mail
