TEAM: Official Episcopal Church delegation issues letter to the Church
[ENS] The official Episcopal Church Delegation to the March 7-14 Towards Effective Anglican Mission (TEAM) conference issued a letter to the Episcopal Church on March 14.
Greetings to The Episcopal Church from the church's official delegation to the TEAM conference in Boksburg, South Africa.
There will be a formal consent document issued by the TEAM conference in a few weeks. In the meantime, we hope to briefly describe some important conference aspects from our perspective.
Thirty of the thirty-eight provinces in the Anglican Communion were officially represented. Other provinces were also in attendance as well as extra-provincial locations. For many participants, including almost the entire Episcopal Church delegation, this gathering was the first experience we had of the diversity and breadth of the Anglican Communion. An important part of the conference was the renewed and deepened relationships with our sisters and brothers across the world.
The Rev. Diana Miremba Nkessga, from Uganda, Chaplain to the conference, brought us a sense of understanding regarding women and children in sub-Saharan Africa and the necessity for urgent and immediate response. Others in the conference shared information regarding the areas in which they work and live that truly touched our hearts.
There is no doubt in our minds that The Episcopal Church is called by God to mission in the world. The provinces in the Anglican Communion are our mission partners in faith and commitment to the work of Jesus Christ in the world.
