Global South Anglican

My aim in this exploration is to understand the rise and development of the idea “Global South Anglican”.  This designation only emerged following the Red Sea Third Global South Encounter in October 2005.  The terms “global South”, “Global South”, and “Global South Primates” often appear in the popular discussion on the Communion crisis, not only between the “Global South” and its supposed antagonist The Episcopal Church, but also in conversations among Anglicans in the Southern Hemisphere.  For some, it may remain unclear what “Global South” and its cluster of related terms stand for, and which churches it represents.  Is it a movement, a power-bloc, a lobby, or an ultra-conservative group that centres on certain personalities?  The Global South Anglican website poignantly focused this concern in a posting on 26 February 2008.  The posting includes a picture of Archbishop Peter Akinola, Primate of Nigeria, and Archbishop John Chew, Primate of South East Asia in Dubai, with an accompanying editorial note.
