Installation and Rededication Service of Archbishop Thabo

Greetings to you all, in the name of the risen Christ, Amen.

It is an honour, a privilege, and very humbling to stand here today. I thank you, the people of the Diocese of Cape Town and of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, for allowing God in Jesus Christ to call me to lead and serve you. Thank you that you are partners with me in the gospel, as we seek afresh to discover what is it to be the body of Christ in our time, and who God is in Jesus Christ, for us here and now.

As I prepared for today, I chose the Sepedi phrase “Sekgo sa Metse” as my theme. Simply put, sekgo is a vessel and metse is water. Yet the two also have deeper meaning, just as living water, the Holy Spirit, does in John’s gospel. Sekgo sa Metse not only provides drink for the thirsty; it also transforms various ingredients into sustaining nourishment; and having done so, it provides thlabego, the yeast, which catalyses the next meal to come.
