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.
