Rev. Segoe has longstanding connections to the LTS – one of the LTS residences is named “Segoe House” in honour of Rev. Segoe’s father, and in the early 2000s, Rev. Segoe himself served as LTS treasurer for a time.

On behalf of the LTS students and staff, we would like to say “Thank you” for the generous donations received.

Rector Winterle of the LTS took the opportunity to share Lutheran resources in the SeTswana language with the visitors – copies of the Smalcald Articles, the Formula of Concord, and the entire Book of Concord in SeTswana, made available by the Lutheran Heritage Foundation (LHF).

The Commission finalized the content of a reader documenting the available recorded history of the churches in question and the mission. At the same time, it is clear that the documentation is sorely incomplete due to the lack of oral history reflecting statements by eyewitnesses. The process of recording the oral history by means of interviews is turning out to be more difficult and protracted than expected.

The Commission agreed that this project needs to be completed as soon as possible, and so the chairman was requested to direct a written request to the participating churches highlighting the urgency of and need for ongoing cooperation, even after the publication of the reader.

All members are convinced that the events of the past continue to define in some ways and to burden the relationships between the sister churches. This makes it all the more imperative to continue with such multilateral dialogues, in order to promote reciprocal understanding in the congregations.
