   Bishop Funga Botoleme has been consecrated Bishop of Kisangani at a difficult time. The diocese has many debts, partly due to expenses relating to Bishop Tibafa's death. His latest news is that the his house has been damaged by a falling tree, necessitating expensive repairs.
   
   Kinshasa Archdeaconry
   
   With Bishop Isingoma's departure Bishop Funga expressed his willingness to supervise the church in Kinshasa and in January Bishop Isingoma went to Kinshasa for the hand over. He was there when Mrs Mugisa conducted a training seminar for the Mothers' Union members of Kinshasa funded by Mary Sumner House. So on Sunday 27 January they had a big service including three important events; the confirmation, the Mothers' Union seminar report and the presentation of new leaders of the church in Kinshasa. Until Bishop Funga makes any other arrangements the leadership of the church in Kinshasa will be entrusted to: 1. Venerable M'vunzi Ne Nkita, Vicar general and honorary archdeacon of Kinshasa. He is the oldest clergy member. 2. The Reverend Etsa Lombomba, administrative Secretary. Priest in charge of Limete Parish, he has worked for several years within the Anglican church in the area of national education in Kisangani diocese and Kinshasa. He is a former lay leader of the diocesan synod of Kisangani and the National Council of the Anglican Church of the Congo.
