Audio: Archbishops of Canterbury, Cape Town address TEAM conference
[ENS] Cape Town Archbishop and Primate of Southern Africa Njongonkulu Ndungane told the Towards Effective Anglican Mission (TEAM) conference March 8 that God had called the participants to Boksburg, South Africa. "We hear and we respond because we serve a God who hears the cries of the oppressed," Ndungane said in his opening address to the TEAM conference. "God, my friends, hears and he acts and he acts through the mission of the Church and God acts through people like you and me."
Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams told delegates at TEAM that a world where no one is forgotten, no one is invisible, "is a world in which God's promise has been fulfilled."
Audio streams of both archbishops' addresses and continuing ENS coverage from the TEAM conference are available at http://www.episcopalchurch.org/3577_23466_ENG_HTM.htm.
Meeting through March 14 at the Birchwood Conference Centre near Johannesburg, TEAM is welcoming more than 400 people from 30 of the Anglican Communion's 38 provinces to review the church's response to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and how it can do more as one of the world's largest grassroots development networks.
