  • Gafcon – Russell Powell
    What is Gafcon – Russell Powell I do sympathise with you this afternoon sitting there on those chairs! Please stay with us this afternoon because I think what Phillip has to say next is extremely important. While I have sympathised with you, I will give you an opportunity to sympathise with me. What we will spend two and a half hours listening to this afternoon is what I have two minutes to brief journalists on, and what the archbishop has 20 seconds to comment on in the media. Not an easy task. My purpose over the next couple of minutes is to unfold some of the aims of the Global Anglican Future Conference and then some of the detail. The speakers before me have set the scene in which it takes place. The organisers, including Archbishop Jensen have been meeting this week in England. In their preparations they have restated the goals of the conference that will be useful if I mention here. The Goals are – 1. Provide an opportunity for fellowship, to continue to experience and proclaim the transforming love of Christ. 2. Develop a renewed understanding of our identity as Anglican Christians within our current context. 3. Prepare for an Anglican future in which the Gospel is un-compromised and Christ- centred mission a top priority. The idea for such a conference came out of a meeting of Primates and Bishops in Nairobi in December. The event was not designed to be an alternative Lambeth – if you had wanted to do that you would have put it on at the same time as Lambeth.

  • Fourth Trumpet from the Fourth Anglican Global South to South Encounter St
    Fourth Trumpet from the Fourth Anglican Global South to South Encounter St. Andrew’s Cathedral, Singapore, 19th – 23rd April 2010 1. The Fourth Anglican South to South Encounter took place in Singapore from April 19th through April 23rd, 2010. The theme for this encounter was: “The Gospel of Jesus Christ - Covenant for the People; Light for the Nations.” We marveled at the power of this Gospel as we met together from all corners of the globe united in our commitment to Jesus the Christ and the proclamation of His message of eternal assurance and transformation open to all people. We were renewed in our determination to assist each other in fulfilling the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations and to do all that Christ has commanded. 2. Grateful for the gracious guidance of the Holy Spirit a total of 130 delegates from 20 provinces in the Global South (Comprising Africa, West Indies, Asia and South America) gathered together. We represented the vast majority of the active membership of the Anglican Communion. We were also joined by a number of our partners in the Gospel from Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. The entire delegation from the Province of West Africa and invited participants from the UK and Ireland were unable to be present because of travel difficulties. 3. We were immensely grateful for the wonderful hospitality provided for us by Archbishop John Chew and the people of the Diocese of Singapore and, in fact, the entire Province of South East Asia. The ministry among us by the former Primate of South East Asia, the Most Rev’d Datuk Yong Ping Chung as Encounter Chaplain was also a source of great blessing.

  • Briefing Note for General Synod
    GS 1861 GENERAL SYNOD Recent violence in Nigeria In view of the recent serious violence in Nigeria the Bishop of Durham travelled to the country at short notice on behalf of the Archbishop of Canterbury to meet members of the Anglican Church in Nigeria and others caught up in the deteriorating situation there. Following the Bishop's return we have decided, in the exercise of our powers under Standing Order 4 (b) in relation to urgent or other especially important business, to direct the addition to the agenda for the February Group of sessions of a short debate. This will enable the Synod to hear from the Bishop of Durham, to reflect on the attached briefing note and, if it agrees, to pass a short motion that the Bishop will move on our behalf in the following terms: "That this Synod, gravely concerned at the desperate plight of Christian communities in parts of Nigeria as described in GS 1861, request the British Government to do all it can to support those in Nigeria seeking to protect religious minorities of all faiths and enable them to practise their religion without fear.” Rowan Cantuar: Sentamu Ebor: 3 February 2012 Nigeria Briefing Note for General Synod Overview and Summary 1. Members of Synod will be aware from the news of the severe deterioration in Nigeria in recent months. The aim of this paper is to provide a summary background for those who may not have followed all the details, and to provide support for the Synod motion that I shall, with the Archbishops‟ agreement, be moving.

  • June Chronicle 2018
    Pentecost, May 20, 2018 Pray Globally, Worship Locally There’s a popular bumper-sticker phrase: “Think globally, act locally,” which urges people to take action within local communities to help care for our fragile earth. As we have been praying our prayers on Sunday mornings, a variation of this phrase has come to mind: “Pray globally, worship locally.” This phrase comes to mind partly because of some additions that I have brought to our Prayers of the People. Last month, I wrote about the reintroduction and inclusion of the Common Doxology in our Sunday morning worship, which I especially enjoyed singing on Pentecost as the red balloons ascended to the rafters (and then later gently descended upon an amused audience during the Sunday afternoon concert). This month, I want to briefly explain the addition I brought to our Prayers of the People. We had already been praying for our Diocesan Bishop Barry Beisner, the Archbishop Suheil Dawani of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem and our Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, who has recently become almost as famous as the NBA player with the same last name. Whenever we pray for these bishops, we pray not only for the bishops themselves but also for the many Christians within their jurisdiction whom these bishops represent. During the last couple months, I have added prayers for the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby as well as for the bishops and dioceses within the Anglican Cycle of Prayer, an online prayer cycle that reminds us of the many Anglicans across our global communion.1 Following this cycle of prayer, we have so far prayed for Anglicans in Kenya, New Zealand, and Melanesia; and we will soon be praying for Anglican brothers and sisters in Mexico, Myanmar, Nigeria, and beyond.
