[ENS: Source, Anglican Communion News Service] -- Approximately 35
members
of the Anglican Communion Working Group on Theological Education (TEAC)
are
currently gathering for a major meeting at Kempton Park Conference
Centre
near Johannesburg, South Africa. Meeting dates are January 14-21, 2006.

The Working Group, which includes representatives from most of the
Anglican
Provinces, is holding its second plenary meeting (the first was in June
2004) to develop the work it has done to date and to make specific
proposals
with suggestions for implementation.

The meeting will have a special focus on theological education in Africa
and
will include some joint sessions with ANITEPAM (The African Network of
Institutions of Theological Education Preparing Anglicans for Ministry).

Archbishop Rowan Williams sent his good wishes to the meeting,
commenting,
"I trust you will have a stimulating and fruitful consultation which
will
significantly move us forwards towards coherent and workable proposals
for
the future. I am looking forward eagerly to hearing of your progress,
and I
will be praying that you may know the inspiration and guidance of God's
Spirit on all your conversations and decisions."

The Chair of TEAC is the Most Rev. Gregory Venables, Primate of the
Province
of the Southern Cone; vice-chair is Canon Robert Paterson of the Church
in
Wales); and secretary is Clare Amos of the Anglican Communion Office.
