Background Information:
The Anglican Students Federation (ASF) is an Umbrella body of all Anglican Societies (ANSOC). It provides Student ministry to students at tertiary institutions within the Anglican Church of Southern Africa (ACSA).
Students meet in their different campuses to worship, Bible study, community outreach, plan and execute projects, fellowship, and have lots of fun together on weekly bases. ANSOC activities extend across denominational boundaries. To most students, ANSOC is a Home away from Home.
The Anglican societies on each campus comprise a group of between 10 – 100 students with a campus Chaplain, providing pastoral care and guidance.
Vision:
To worship God. To be a co-ordinating body for Anglican Students’ Societies (An’socs). To stimulate awareness and concern as Christians for the broader society in which we live, for example through ASF Publications, Provincial and Regional conferences. To seek to alleviate the sufferings of those around us. To seek, prayerfully, to work out the practical implications of being Christians in our society. To encourage people to live out the practical implications of being Christians in our society.
