Communiqué from the Gafcon Primates Council meeting in Kigali 19 Oct 2022
from Anglican Ink:
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
1 Cor 1:18.
To all the faithful members of Gafcon throughout the world, and to all friends in Christ, Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus.
1. Our Meeting in Kigali, Rwanda.
The Gafcon Primates Council celebrated their first face to face meeting (without masks) in over three years when they met in Kigali, Rwanda from October 17-19, 2022. We experienced lavish hospitality from Archbishop Laurent Mbanda. We found it poignant to meet in the place which experienced the depths of human anguish in the genocide of 1994 to the extraordinary demonstration of redemption and forgiveness that has transformed this nation in amazing ways. It has been deeply challenging to see how we need to experience and share that same transformation, in and through our own lives.
We agonized at the news that our brothers and sisters in Uganda, having had a devastating experience of COVID-19 and a tragic famine, claiming far too many lives, are now dealing with an outbreak of Ebola in four areas of the country. We prayed with Ugandan Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba who was present in our meeting, and we also prayed for our brothers and sisters in Uganda who are struggling under these circumstances.
We were invited to meet the Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the Honorable Vincent Biruta, in his offices. He welcomed us to Rwanda and offered his support to the smooth running of GAFCON IV, to be held in Kigali in the week of 17- 21 April, 2023.
