Anglican Global South leaders to meet in Egypt next week for a very important gathering

GSFA First Assembly

11 – 15 June 2024, Egypt. Theme: “I Will Make You as a Light For The Nations …”. (Isaiah 49:6)

The Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches (GSFA) is a recognised grouping within the  Anglican Communion which includes some 75% of Anglicans worldwide and traces its origins to the  first ‘South to South’ Encounter in Kenya in 1994. Since then, regular ‘Encounter’ gatherings have  brought the voice of Global South to the wider Anglican Communion and next week, 11^th-15^th June, a  group of 200 leaders is being gathered by the GSFA in Egypt as its ‘1^st Assembly’ under a new  Covenantal structure. 

The Assembly will meet in the context of the rapid growth of Anglican Churches of the Majority  World, in contrast to the Western Churches which, on the whole, have been unable to resist a  cultural drift away from orthodox Christianity.
