Highlights of the Week

The fourth Anglican South to South Encounter wrapped up on April 23, 2010. The Anglican South to South Encounter issued its fourth “Trumpet.” During the five-day conference former Nigerian Primate the Most Rev. Peter Akinola saw TEC's actions as making a new Anglican Communion inevitable. Archbishop John Chew was elected chairman of the Global South Primates’ Steering Committee, replacing outgoing chairman Archbishop Peter Akinola. President Bishop Mouneer Anis called for the restructuring of the Anglican Communion and Archbishop Emmanuel Kolini proposed the establishment of a new “Anglican Ecumenical Council,” modeled on the Councils of the Early Church.

Charles Raven writes on the significance of the fourth Anglican South to South Encounter on SPREAD.
