The Episcopal Church of the Philippines has long been committed to
offering health services to the people it serves. It has a range of
hospitals and health programmes that serve people irrespective of their
creed. The Diocese of the Southern Philippines has supported Brent
Hospital since its inception in 1914. Through this time the hospital has
grown and developed its expertise and now is looking expectantly to
celebrating its centenary in two years time. To help set the scene for
this important moment, they have produced a video that reveals much of
the character and values of the hospital. You can watch this video on
YouTube on this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlK7Yovzac8
Here is yet another example of the belief within Anglican communities
that providing health care remains a fundamental element of the mission
of the Church. The integrated nature of prayer, teaching and healing
seems natural in so many settings. We wish the diocese every blessing as
they make further preparations to celebrate their valuable work.
Paul
