Anglicans, Sexuality and Scripture: An African Consultation



Anglicans, Sexuality and Scripture:  An African ConsultationAnglicans, Sexuality and Scripture:  An African Consultation
Last October, Integrity's Vice President of National Affairs represented our organization at a conference in Africa sponsored by our colleagues at the Chicago Consultation. Here is the report they have just released about that conference.
Anglicans, Sexuality and Scripture:  An African Consultatio
"In October, some 25 Anglican leaders from across Africa gathered with more than a dozen Episcopalians from the United States for a consultation on issues of justice and human sexuality.

For three days the group prayed, studied the Bible, listened to presentations and talked about issues of theology, sexuality and culture. When formal sessions ended, they talked into the night, all in an attempt to better understand one another and the unique context in which each participant lived and ministered.

The Chicago Consultation was proud to sponsor this event at the Salt Rock Hotel in Durban, South Africa with our partners from the Ujamaa Centre at the University of KwaZulu Natal.
