‘Global South’ Anglican Catechism in Outline

Anglican Catechism in Outline (ACIO) Interim Report“The Anglican Catechism in Outline project was unanimously endorsed and commissioned by the Global South Primates or their representatives present at its meeting at Kigali, Rwanda, September 2006. It was agreed that an interim report should be sent to the Global South Primates by February 2008 for their comments, and the final report be submitted by June 2008.

It is a historic and important project initiated by the Global South at this very critical juncture of the life and witness of our Anglican Communion.

The Global South Anglican Theological Formation and Education Task Force submitted their Interim Report to the Global South Primates Steering Committee on 6 January 2008.

We commend the Interim Report for careful study and feedback.”

Bishop John Rodgers interviewed

Bishop John Rodgers (photo:TSM)Bishop John Rodgers, one of the founders of AMiA and Interim Dean and President of TSM, has been interviewed on his hopes for the Anglican Communion:

“We have assumed we are part of a global Anglicanism that is true and good and turned a blind eye to its actual condition. We have been idolatrous about the Anglican Communion. The truth is that for us to be faithful Anglicans we can no longer be simply identified with the present Anglican Communion. It must be reformed or divided.”
