USPG - Belize
In March 2008 Malcolm Lambert, our former Rector and his wife Ruth moved to Belize, (formerly British Honduras) a small country in Central America. Malcolm to become Director, and only member of staff at the Anglican Theological Institute, where he is responsible for training priests and lay leaders, and Ruth to be priest in charge of St Ann’s in Belmopan, the capital.
Although primary education is free and the state pays teachers salaries, all the schools are run by the various religious denominations and both Malcolm and Ruth are involved in teaching religion in the Anglican schools as well as their management. The Anglican Church is very short of priests and lay leaders and on Sundays Ruth can be involved in round trips of up to 100miles taking services in outlying villages.
In addition to teaching in the Institute and taking services, Malcolm is also expected to oversee Religious Education in schools. One of his current tasks is rewriting the RE syllabus for primary children in Anglican schools.
Malcolm and Ruth are sponsored by the USPG, which is one of the main Anglican missionary societies supported financially by the Parish, and also by individual members of our church and other Christian friends.
Following security issues Malcolm and Ruth are currently back in the UK on compassionate leave.
