There is a range of views as to what extent Anglican Churches should seek to convert other faiths.
The Church in Africa is experiencing huge growth – in Muslim countries among others.
Some believe there is a Biblical mandate to go out and convert other faiths, while other more liberal wings of the Church do not feel this is as necessary.
On the agenda at the conference are topics on evangelism and how to engage in a multi-faith world so these are likely to provide opportunity to discuss the issue.
The conference will conclude with attempts to get the delegates from Churches across the world to sign up to a covenant calling for an agreement on central beliefs – including an end to the ordination of gay bishops and same sex blessings in church – and discipline in following them.
But this would be unacceptable to the American Church, and liberals elsewhere in the Communion, including the Church of England.
