It is with great sadness that I have learnt the news about the death of Emmanuel Eneh. Emmanuel passed away on Thursday, 23rd April 2020.
|
Emmanuel was a long-standing member of the Anglican Church in Finland and had a significant lay ministry at the International Congregation of Christ the King in Tampere. He served many years as an Anglican Licensed Lay Reader, working together with the priests of the Lutheran Parishes in Tampere in providing pastoral and liturgical ministry to the international church community gathering in Vanha kirkko. His commitment to the implementation of Porvoo Agreement (between Anglican and Lutheran Churches), and his service to the wider community by participating in local politics in Tampere, were a source of inspiration for many.
|
Emmanuel remained as a member of the Diocesan Synod of the Diocese in Europe until his death. He was also a member of the Deanery Synod of the Nordic and Baltic states.
|
We remain grateful for Emmanuel’s ministry and pray for him and his family. He is survived by his wife and three children
|
|
Now, Lord, you let your servant go in peace:
|
|
your word has been fulfilled.
|
|
My own eyes have seen the salvation
|
|
which you have prepared in the sight of every people;
|
|
A light to reveal you to the nations
|
|
and the glory of your people Israel.
