Mozambique Records 1987-2001

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/229901528

This series comprises records created or retained by persons responsible for coordinating ELCA mission assistance relating to Mozambique. These records were generated during the course of documenting, monitoring, and publicizing projects, programs, and general updates pertaining to the efforts to practice the accompaniment model of mission whereby the ELCA's Division for Global Mission (DGM) walked with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mozambique (ELCM) in mission support. The records date from 1987-2001. This series comprises two accessions received into the ELCA Archives and as such includes records of the program directors mentioned in this series' background: the Rev. James L. Knutson, the Rev. Daniel W. Olson, and the Rev. Benyam A. Kassahun. Record types include typewritten business correspondence and memoranda, financial correspondence, reports, financial statements, audit reports, meeting minutes, and a consultation report. Subject matter includes relating to the church in Mozambique; possibility of companion synod arrangement with the ELCA's Arkansas-Oklahoma synod; conflict within Mozambique church; terms of employment for missionaries; a well project, and scholarships for students to study theology at seminaries in United States. While this series includes records related to the ELCM and its work, in many cases, there are gaps in the records. It appears that whatever was sent to DGM is what comprised the files. It cannot be ascertained if consistent efforts were made to fill in any gaps in the records. Of note, the series only has minutes for the Joint Mission Board from 1988-2000.
