CAIRO: Anglican
Church in North America Declared Partner Province by the Global South
October 16, 2015
Anglican
Primates of the Global South, a coalition representing the majority of the
world's Anglicans, met October 14-16, 2015 in Cairo, Egypt.
During the
meeting, the Anglican Church in North America was declared to be an official
partner province of the Global South. In addition, Archbishop Foley Beach, who
earlier in the week had preached at All Saints Anglican Cathedral in Cairo, was
seated as a member of the Global South Primates Council with both voice and
vote; participating fully in the meeting.
Archbishop Beach
commented on the gathering, "It is a privilege and joy to represent the
Anglican Church in North America as the bonds of fellowship between faithful,
global Anglicans continue to be strengthened. This was a good and important
week in the lives of our provinces, and I am encouraged that some of the seeds
of restoration and renewal that were planted years ago are continuing to bear
fruit."
At future
meetings of the Global South, the Anglican Church in North America is invited
to send official representatives, and Archbishop Beach will continue to have
voice and vote in the Global South Primates Council.
