SUMMARY:Memorial Service for Omega Chilufya Bula
DESCRIPTION:Memorial Service for Omega Chilufya Bula: Monday February 6th 2023 at 8 AM EST (6 AM Mountain Time). \nA great Tree has fallen\n   – (African proverb)   \nIt is with broken hearts that people of The United Church of Canada mourn the passing of Omega Chilufya Bula\, Beloved Justice Leader\, Sister\, Elder\, Pioneer\, Mentor\, Friend and Colleague. Omega passed away in Lusaka\, Zambia on January 31 2023. Her son Mwai Bula shared the sad news that Omega passed away from heart complications after a long battle with cancer. \nOmega leaves an incomparable legacy of ecumenical leadership in the struggle for racial\, gender\, economic and social justice in her home country of Zambia\, across the African continent\, in The United Church of Canada\, and globally. She served in the General Council Offices in the Division of World Outreach as Area Secretary for Southern Africa and Gender Justice\, as the first-ever Racial Justice Minister\, and as Executive Minister of the former Justice\, Global and Ecumenical Relations (JGER) and Partners in Mission Units (PIM). Her commitment to partnership led to the formation of the Partner Council\, and was instrumental in shaping the Principles of Global Partnership that guide the global partnership program of The United Church of Canada today. \nThe global ecumenical movement has lost one of its greatest leaders\, and Omega will be deeply missed. \n“Well done\, good and faithful servant”.   \n(In Bemba):  Ichibote cha kwa Lesa chende naimwe (God’s peace go with you)  \n  \nThe United Church of Canada is hosting an online space on Zoom on Monday\, February 6th 2023 at 8 AM ET. where those who knew Omega Bula can gather to pray\, to remember her\, and to sing her soul to rest with God. Please join us. The Zoom link can be found on this page.  \nWe ask for your help to share this email with those whom you know of who would wish to join the online memorial who may not be aware of the online gathering. \n♥
