More reports on Kigali Communique and other readings
At Church Times, Pat Ashworth reports: "The President-Bishop in Jerusalem and the Middle East, the Most Revd Clive Handford, described the communiqué as different in kind from one issued after the meeting of Global South Primates in Egypt last year (News, 25 November). Then, he had denounced a letter from the meeting as having been neither discussed nor approved, but, this time, he said on Tuesday: “In substance, I can live with it. For me, the really important thing is not to erect unnecessary barriers, but to keep the dialogue going and open. On the whole, the communiqué probably helps rather than hinders that.” More here.
Presiding Bishop Griswold : "The communiqué from Kigali recommends that there be a separate ecclesial body within our province. The suggestion of such a division raises profound questions about the nature of the church, its ordering and its oversight. I further believe such a division would open the way to multiple divisions across other provinces of the Communion, and any sense of a coherent mission would sink into chaos." More here
From ENS: "…a September 28 statement from the Episcopal Church in the Philippines (ECP) which clarified that its Prime Bishop, the Most Rev. Ignacio C. Soliba, “did not attend the meeting and was not a signatory to the so-called Kigali Communiqué.” More here.
Bishop Mark Macdonald (Alaska) on Camp Allen Meeting : "If The Episcopal Church fails to acknowledge that the New Hampshire consecration has precipitated a crisis within the Anglican Communion, it will be ever harder to bridge the widening chasm that is threatening to divide the worldwide association of Anglican churches, according to Alaska Bishop Mark L. MacDonald." More here
Dr Michael Poon reflects on the draft ‘Road to Lambeth’ report: "The Primates are wise in their decisions. We need to read The Road to Lambeth against the official document Kigali Communiqué, and indeed not the other way around. They are not two parallel statements from Kigali that bear the same authority. More here.

Anglican Mainstream South Africa responds to Kigali and CPSA leadership
“There are many Anglicans in Southern Africa who are a facing a crisis of conscience over the stand of their leadership who persist in building closer ties with those North American bishops who have declined to submit to the Windsor Report.”

Towards rapprochement: A note of appreciation to Dr Radner’s “Communion’s Martyred Depth”
by Michael Poon, in dialogue with Ephraim Radner on his latest article, ‘Communion’s Martyred Depth.’
Communion’s Martyred Depth - Dr Ephraim Radner
If, beyond the structural considerations that consume our meetings – who gets what bishop and what form of oversight and goes to what gathering—we were to see our communion in this light, it would surely take on a very different visage. Indeed, taken as the foundation of our thinking about communion, the “for-ness” of the Martyr Church would reorient many of our current controversies, not because they would remove the stumbling blocks that are truly in our midst, but because the way we looked at them and responded to them would inevitably be transfigured. How can we now set out on this new road?

Some points of clarification on the Kigali Meeting and Communique - Archbishop John Chew

Into deeper levels of communion and interdependence across the Anglican Communion - Michael Poon
...This is why I believe the Primates’ Meeting should take up a central role in the Anglican Communion. This does not mean we give up the Roman understanding of episcopate from the fifth century. It only means the jurisdictional and administrative understandings we inherit from the Latin churches are not the only models the Scripture and historic Christianity authorize.

This website was set up after the 3rd South South Encounter in Oct '05 to carry the materials from the event and to follow-up work as laid out in the communiqués, especially the Third Trumpet. It has since become both a news site and a theological forum for issues of concern to Global South Provinces. Apart from official releases, the views of contributors here do not necessary represent that of the Global South Steering Committee. For more info on this site, click here.
