The conference aims were described by our founding fathers as follows:<\/p>\n
1. To meet, to know and to encourage one another in our faith and mission as Christians of the ‘South’.
\n 2. To listen to God and to listen to one another.
\n 3. To share our stories, our needs, our resources, our vision.
\n 4. To explore and encourage ways of offering ourselves and our unique gifts as Christians of the South for the enrichment of the whole Church and for world mission.
\n 5. To discover our unique identity as Anglican Christians of the non-western world.
\n 6. To encourage qualitative and relevant leadership development for our rapidly growing churches so as to secure the future of the Church in the South and worldwide. To enable partnership, both South to South and South to North on the basis of equality and mutual respect.
\n 7. To explore ways of being authentically Christian in our cultural milieu while remaining universally connected to the global Anglican Communion.<\/p>\n
