Pilgrims help draft GAFCON statement

[GAFCON] 26 Jun 2008--There is no advance text of a final statement of the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON), nor prepared plans for future organization and action. And there won’t be one until the 1,200 bishops, priests and laity meeting in Jerusalem June 22 – 29 has had a chance to seek God’s guidance and contribute their thoughts to the Statement Committee.

“The final statement is going to emerge as the work of all the participants of GAFCON,” said Archbishop Benjamin Nzimbi of the Anglican Church of Kenya and chair of the Statement Committee.

To make that intent a concrete reality, the Statement Committee’s first step is to ask pilgrims to return a short feedback form on Tuesday, June 24. The form asks pilgrims:

what their hopes and expectations are for GAFCON,
how GAFCON should be developed as a movement,
what potential dangers are there for GAFCON as a movement, and
how the work of GAFCON could help pilgrims in their own country or province.
