Building on the Foundation: Our Hope for Tomorrow
The Rector’s Message
1st Sept 2013
Eleven Important Questions For the Congregation to Ask
On A regular Basis
Two Radical Questions
Why are we doing what we are doing?
Why are we doing it the way we are doing it?
Four Foundation Questions
What is the Gospel?
What is a Christian?
What is the church?
What is our mission
Two Vexing Questions
Why isn’t it working so well anymore?
What can we do to help it work better?
Focusing Questions
What would we like to see happen in the lives of those we are seeking to reach?
What are we offering that from their point of view would make it worth their while to get
involved with us?
What price are we willing to pay in order to be able to reach them?
Remember that the incarnation happened when God became human through Jesus and immersed
himself in human life. So 'incarnational mission' means being involved in the everyday lives of
the people you are called to serve - involved in their context.

Your Health and You by Dr. Michael Goodluck
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections observed in
women. Young and elderly women, and those undergoing certain procedures of the genitourinary
tract are affected frequently. In case of men, older individuals are more commonly affected than
young adults. In case of children, it has been estimated that about 7% of the girls and 2% of the
boys suffer from UTI at least once before they reach the age of 6 years. The UTI in all cases may
be asymptomatic or symptomatic and complicated or uncomplicated. The infection may affect
the kidneys (wherein it is referred as pyelonephritis), urethra (urethritis) or the bladder (cystitis).
Causes of urinary tract infections
Several factors have been proposed to result in urinary tract infections. Surgical instrumentation
for various procedures of the urinary tract in both men and women is a common risk factor.
Below are some of the risk factors that have been associated with increased incidence in young
women. Increasing age itself is a risk factor in older women.
 Genetic factors
 Maternal history of UTI
 Previous UTI
 Holding urine for a long time
 Sexual intercourse
 Use of diaphragms and spermicides
 Young age at first UTI (below 15 years)
 Narrowed urethra
 Prostate enlargement
In case of older men, the incidence of UTI is high in individuals with disease of the prostate and
obstruction to the urinary outlet.
In case of young men, UTI was frequently observed in those, whose
 Sexual partners were infected
 Who had anal sex
 Who are not circumcised.
The UTI in children is usually a secondary infection from nearby regions. Some of the microorganisms
that cause UTIs are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Proteus mirabilis and Klebsiella
pneumoniae.
