The second Global Anglican Future Conference will get underway in Kenya on Monday 21st October, following a meeting of the Primates Council, comprising leaders of some of the world’s largest Anglican churches.
1200 delegates, clergy and laity, men and women from across of the Anglican Communion will gather in Nairobi for a week-long meeting.
Among them will be victims of religious persecution in various parts of the world who will tell their story.
The programme includes ”˜mini-conferences’ on topics such as gospel proclamation and culture, theological education, economic empowerment and the church, marriage, family and sexuality, and engaging with Islam.
The gathering is the second conference since the landmark GAFCON meeting in Jerusalem in 2008.
The Archbishop of Canterbury will make a flying visit to Nairobi just before the start of the conference to talk to the Primates. Delegates will gather at All Saints Cathedral on Monday for the opening session.
It would be good to pray for the encouragement and confidence of the GAFCON Primates at this time, and also for Justin Welby. It would be great to see God move by his spirit in the hearts of all in Nairobi that he may be lifted up as head of His Anglican church and that we may all be faithful to Him.
