Johannesburg Communique 3-29-2012

On Tuesday, March 13, 2012, Anglican Mission leaders met in Johannesburg, South Africa with Archbishop Eliud Wabukala, Archbishop of Kenya and Chairman of GAFCON, as well as representatives of the Province of Rwanda. This gathering was a follow-up to a meeting Archbishop Wabukala hosted in Nairobi earlier this year to facilitate relational reconciliation between the Anglican Mission and Rwanda. Bishop Chuck Murphy, Archbishops Emmanuel Kolini, Moses Tay and Yong Ping Chung, Bishop John Miller and Canon Mike Murphy represented the Anglican Mission, and Archbishop Onesphore Rwaje and Bishop Laurent Mbanda attended on behalf of the House of Bishops of Rwanda. The group produced a Communiqué released today outlining an agreement to mutually bless both theAM and Rwanda, allowing each entity to move forward in their mission and ministry, fulfilling God’s call on their lives.

Bishop Murphy expressed deep gratitude to Archbishop Wabukala for his leadership and thanksgiving for this new beginning for the Anglican Mission.
