When we were on leave in the UK for six months (Aug 1988 to Jan 1989), between our two terms of service with CMS at Kabare in Kenya, Harry Moore, the General Secretary of the Church Missionary Society, asked me to write the CMS Newsletter for July/August 1989. Since only General Secretaries wrote the Newsletter, this was entitled an Occasional Paper.

From Mon 22 June to Sun 27 June 1999, Joseph Galgalo and I walked with 24 others from Oxford to Cambridge with a Camel to raise money for six primary schools in Northern Kenya. We walked to celebrate 200 years of the Church Mission Society (founded 1799) and in memory of Bishop Andrew Adano, who founded the schools. For a 5 minute film about the Camel Walk, click here.

Norman Winter, a BBC Radio 4 producer, asked me present three Radio 4 short programmes in July 1996 on my three favourite books the Henry Martyn Library. This is my script of the third one, on Archbishop David Gitari's book, In Season and Out of Season: Sermons to a Nation (Oxford: Regnum, 1996). It was broadcast on 26 July 1996.

In preparation for the bicentenary of the Church Mission Society in 1999, I was asked to write the CMS News-Letter for June, July and Aug 1998. It is called an Occasional Paper since only General Secretaries of CMS write the News-Letter.
