Bishop Sean joined the Reverend Canon Michael Mbona, congregation and friends of St Paul Ahmadi in Kuwait, in joyful celebration of three milestones: the 50th anniversary of the Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf, the 78th Anniversary of St Paul’s Church, and the 150th anniversary of the Mothers’ Union worldwide.

St Paul’s was particularly honoured to welcome British Ambassador to Kuwait HE Qudsi Rasheed, OBE, alongside the Reverend Amanuel Ghareeb—NECK Common Council chair and sponsor of St Paul’s Anglican Church. It was a pleasure to welcome too representative of the Ambassador of Federal State of Nigeria Tunde Adekele Adegbesan, US Embassy political officer Travis Coberly, and Pastor Dr Jayakumar Karnati—President of the Telugu Christian Congregation and representative of the inter-congregational community.

The Reverend Christine Mbona is president of the Diocesan Mothers’ Union—established in 2024 with Bishop Sean as its patron—and Provincial Champion for the International Anglican Family Network, serving as a member of its steering committee. Revd Christine holds a BTh in Discipleship and Ministry from Queen’s College Newfoundland, completed under a partnership programme with the Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf. Bishop Sean was delighted to present Revd Christine with her degree certificate during Friday’s service.

On Thursday, Bishop Sean led a service of the Urdu-speaking congregation of St Paul’s, which included the baptism of one-month-old Ezekial. The service also saw the enrolment of new members of the Mothers’ Union.
