Peacebuilding in the local church (online event)

August 6, 2021

I have always loved the declaration of Isaiah, the Old Testament prophet, “You shall be called the repairer of the breach.” For the most part I think we have no idea what this means. At times, we put flimsy plasters

Vision and Mission

We envision the church actively living out the peace and justice of God for the world supporting local congregations by enabling dialogue, facilitating collaboration and inspiring hope-filled imagination towards justice-seeking action.

Our Story

The Warehouse was established in 2003 through the Anglican Parish of St John’s Wynberg in the Diocese of Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.

Our Context

The Warehouse serves the South African church network in its response to
poverty, injustice and division, and work with local churches in all communities, helping them to catalyse sound and effective change.

Our Strategy

The Warehouse achieves its mission through four strategic focus areas:

Dialogue with Leaders

We engage church leaders to create opportunities for theological reflection, support and mentorship as they lead in transforming churches and communities and facilitate reconciling relationships in a broken South Africa.

Transformational Encounters

We facilitate encounters to inspire and equip participants in integral mission theory and practice, as well as build relationships across various divides. Facilitating Transformational Encounters includes workshops, forums, experiential learning events and conferences.

Transformational Resources

We adopt, adapt and create transformational resources to inspire imagination, challenge inequalities and equip individuals to engage theologically and enable congregations to participate effectively in community transformation. Through these we catalyse and fuel hope and prophetic imagination rather than only providing information and developing workshop materials.

Developing Initiatives

We research, develop and pilot initiatives which address key systemic issues in order to contribute to the effectiveness of the Church’s response to poverty, injustice and division. This strategy creates spaces where people can not only think together, but also have their thoughts and workings tested and refined by others. It’s the space between individual concerns, ideas, work and actions that transform.

Be nice

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. ”

"Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity it is an act of justice"

"True peace is not merely the absence of tension, it is the presence of justice"

"The hope of the gospel leads us to hope for justice and abundant life for all people"

The Warehouse achieves its mission with these people:
