COLLECT OF THE DAY
O God, who before the passion of your only-begotten Son revealed His glory upon the holy
mountain: Grant to us that we, beholding by faith the light of His countenance, may be
strengthened to bear our cross, and be changed into the His likeness from glory to glory; through
Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and
ever Amen.

BELIEFS: There can be many differences between individual Anglican churches, but all Anglicans hold
these in common:
1.The Holy Bible, comprising the Old and New Testament, as a basis of our faith;
2. The Nicene and Apostles' Creeds as the basic statements of Christian belief;
3.Recognition of the Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion; and
4.The Historic Episcopate—ours is a Christian tradition with bishops.
This quadrilateral, drawn up in the 19th Century, is one of the definitions of Anglican faith and ministry.
Another is a style of worship which has its roots in the Book of Common Prayer and the Services of
Ordination (the Ordinal). Anglicans also celebrate the Eucharist (also known as the Holy Communion, the
Lord’s Supper or the Mass), the Sacrament of Baptism and other rites including Confirmation,
Reconciliation, Marriage, Anointing of the Sick, and Ordination.
Anglicanism rests on the three pillars of Scripture, Tradition and Reason as it seeks to chart ‘a middle
way’ among the other Christian traditions.
MISSION: Following the teachings of Jesus Christ, Anglicans are committed to proclaiming the good
news of the Gospel to all creation as expressed in the Marks of Mission:
To proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom;
To teach, baptize and nurture new believers;
To respond to human need by loving service;
To seek to transform unjust structures of society;
To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth.
This is expressed in all areas of a Christian’s life: their words and their actions. Therefore, members of the
Anglican Communion around the world are involved with a range of life-changing activities that include
evangelism and church growth; providing food, shelter and clothing to those in need; speaking out with
and for the oppressed; and setting up schools, hospitals, clinics and universities.
random rumblings: We simply can’t live in the future at the expenses of the present. What will become
of our health? Will we go blind or deaf or lose our memories? Who will take care of us? What about
tomorrow? Will we have the strength to live tomorrow well, wisely and even joyfully?
Our task today is not to have the strength needed for tomorrow’s burdens. Our task today is to live by
the mercies given for today, and to believe and trust that there will be new mercies for tomorrow. You
see, trust combines the realization of our need and conviction of God’s sufficiency. Remember Proverbs
3:5. It says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Trust cannot
be tentative or cautions; it must be whole-hearted, it’s an all or nothing principle. It means look for the
answer in God’s word mediated through the sacraments, then, when we find it, we put our faith in it.
Whatever, the situation, development, detour, turn, obstacle or challenge, the Lord will make a way
somehow. Life is a matter of not only living in God’s “somehow” but trusting in “God’s somehow.”
Trust is an affirmation of faith in God’s capacity and commitment to handle tomorrow.

YOUR HEALTH AND YOU by : Dr Michael Goodluck MD
Sexually transmitted infections/ STI (Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Genital Herpes/Genital Warts, Hepertitis B&C,
HIV, Syphillis).
Chlamydia is a disease caused by the bacteria Chlamydia trachomatis. It is most commonly sexually
transmitted. Chlamydia infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the World. Sexually
active individuals and individuals with multiple partners are at highest risk.
Signs and Symptoms are:
As many as 1 in 4 men with Chlamydia have no symptoms. In men, Chlamydia may produce symptoms
similar to gonorrhea. Symptoms may include:
 Burning sensation during urination
 Discharge from the penis or rectum
 Testicular tenderness or pain
Rectal discharge or pain
Only about 30% of women with Chlamydia have symptoms. Symptoms that may occur in women
include:
 Burning sensation during urination
 Painful sexual intercourse
 Rectal pain or discharge
 Symptoms of PID, Salpingitis, liver inflammation similar to hepatitis
The diagnosis of Chlamydia infection involves sampling of the urethral discharge in males or cervical
secretions in females. If an individual engages in anal sexual contact, samples from the rectum may also
be needed. The sample is sent for a fluorescent or monoclonal antibody test, DNA probe test, or cell
culture. Some of these tests may also be performed on urine samples.
Treatment:
The usual treatment for Chlamydia is antibiotics, including Tetracyclines, Azithromycin, or erythromycin.
You can get Chlamydia with gonorrhea or syphilis, so if you have one sexually transmitted disease you
must be screened for other sexually transmitted diseases as well. All sexual contacts should be screened
for Chlamydia.
Sexual partners must be treated to prevent passing the infection back and forth. There is no significant
immunity following the infection and a person may become repeatedly infected. A follow-up evaluation
may be done in 4 weeks to determine if the infection has been cured. Early antibiotic treatment is
extremely successful and may prevent the development of long-term complications. Untreated infection,
however, may lead to complications such as : in women chlamydia infections may lead to inflammation
of the cervix. In men, chlamydia infection can lead to inflammation of the urethra called urethritis. An
untreated chlamydia infection may spread to the uterus or the fallopian tubes, causing salpingitis or pelvic
inflammatory disease. These conditions can lead to infertility and increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy.
If a women is infected with chlamydia while pregnant, the infection may cause infection in the uterus
after delivery (late postpartum endometritis). In addition, the infant may develop chlamydia-related
conjunctivitis (eye infection) and pneumonia.
