Talk:Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches

Needs context

Perhaps this statement could use greater context:

"In October 2009, Global South leaders reacted to the Vatican's proposed creation of personal ordinariates for disaffected traditionalist Anglicans by saying that although they welcomed ecumencial dialogue and shared moral theology with the Catholic Church, the current GAFCON structures already meet the spiritual and pastoral needs of conservative Anglicans in Africa.

Anglican Church of Southern Africa

I'm fairly certain that the Anglican Church of Southern Africa is not part of the Global South.--jrl 12:55, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Church members

There was something wrong with the given number of 20 churches, while only 19 appeared in the list. I also had read that 22 churches were members of the Global South (Anglican). I am correcting the number of churches to 21, because the Churches of North India and Pakistan are also member churches of the Global South (Anglican), like this article, from 2009, demonstrates[1]. The Anglican Church in Southern Africa in fact already was present in some meetings, even represented by their Primates, Njongonkulu Ndungane and Thabo Makgoba, despite some theological differences. It should be noticed that the ACSA, despite being more liberal, officially disapproves homosexuality and non-celibate gay clergy too.Mistico (talk) 00:59, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

The official website of Global South concerning the Fourth Encounter that took place at 19-13 April 2010, in Singapore, lists 20 Anglican churches. They are all listed in the entry, with the exception of the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui: [2]. The five churches who appear in the list and weren't represented, at least in this meeting, where the Church of Bangladesh (United), the Church of Pakistan (United), the Church of South India (United), the Episcopal Church in the Philippines, and the Church in the Province of the West Indies. Nevertheless, I decided to leave them in the list because I believe they might have been present in another Global South meetings.Mistico (talk) 02:36, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

The Global South official website shows the "Statement of East Asian Bishops on the Crisis and Future of the Anglican Communion", from October 2004: [3] It was signed by seven bishops of the Episcopal Church in the Philippines, including their Prime Bishop, Ignacio Soliba, three bishops of the Church of Korea, including the Primate, Matthew Chul Bum Chung, three bishops of the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui, and six from the Church of the Province of South East Asia. Two of these churches were represented at the Global South Fourth Encounter.Mistico (talk) 02:50, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

More Background?

Reading this article leaves me confused about the Anglican Global South. Can anyone help flesh this out? What is the history of this so called "grouping?" How and why was the it originally formed? Why doesn't it include Brazil? How is it organized? How is it governed? How are its leaders selected? How often does it meet, and for what purposes? How does it relate to the larger Anglican Communion? Finally, and maybe most importantly, can someone improve the references? There is only one reference that is not some kind of statement or letter from the organization itself. Dunncon13 (talk) 15:46, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Episcopal Church in the Philippines

I couldn't find any source that shows that the Episcopal Church in the Philippines was already represented in any of the Global South Encounters, the last of which took place in 2010, and meetings. I noticed that the reference to this province is in the entry since it was created and its possible that the ECP already attended some meetings in the past, so I decided to leave this reference. There will be a Global South Conference to take place in Cartage, Tunisia, from 12 to 18 October 2015, so its possible that this province will be represented this time. I think I will have to email the Episcopal Church in the Philippines to help to clarify this question.Mistico (talk) 18:49, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Third Global South Meeting

The Third Global South Meeting took place in Egypt, in November 2005, and it was attended by 12 Primates, Peter Akinola, from Nigeria, Justice Akrofi, from West Africa, Fidèle Dirokpa, from Congo, Emmanuel Kolini, from Rwanda, Bernard Malango, from Central Africa, Joseph Marona, from Sudan, Benjamin Nzimbi, from Kenya, Henry Orombi, from Uganda, Remi J. Rabenirina, from the Indian Ocean, Ignacio Soliba, from the Philippines, Gregory Venables, from the Southern Cone of America, and Yong Ping Chung, from Southeast Asia. Three more Primates were present but had to leave before the final draft of the meeting was concluded: Donald Mtetemela, from Tanzania, Bernard Ntahoturi, from Burundi, and Peter Sugandhar, from South India. This proves that the Primates of Philippines and South India were already represented at least in the 2005 Global South Third Encounter:[4] Mistico (talk) 01:38, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Membership of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa

I think the entry must adress the question of the membership of the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, because they are obviously the most liberal province in the GSFAC.Mistico Dois (talk) 13:29, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
