Details of this month's All African Bishop's conference published

We reported on the second all African Bishop's Conference back in January. Now the details of the conference have been published by a Ugandan newspaper. From the report the conference will be held third week of August at a resort in Entebbe Uganda.

"Organised by the Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa, the conference will provide the bishops a forum to discuss issues like war, poverty, poor leadership, diseases and corruption.

President Yoweri Museveni will open the conference, which and the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams is expected to attend.

According to Amanda Onapito, the Church of Uganda director, the theme of the conference is ‘Securing our future: unlocking our potential (Hebrews 12:1-2).’

Sub-themes will include securing an economic future, nurturing family life, building healthy populations, and creating harmonious and dignified communities. "

The first conference of this sort was held in Nigeria back in 2004.

¨...nurturing family life, building healthy populations, and creating harmonious and dignified communities. "

Now there is a thought, ¨THE GREATEST OF THESE¨, especially during the plague of child witchburning (Uganda and Nigeria specialties), Sex slavery (Nigeria and Uganda specialties), Despotic Military dictatorships (Mugabe/Museveni) impacting HUMAN RIGHTS (all), Rape, Murder (Yelwa, Uganda, Sudan), vertical corruption (all), the persecution of LGBT Anglican/others...one wonders if the Archbishop of Canterbury will have ANYTHING to say? I mean, anything vaguely like enlightening participants with REALITY and encouraging courageous, responsible and accountable moral¨beliving and being? at the Body of Christ¨...it´s time the self-deceiving, +Rowans and some of the other African Primates, must end. REAL people are suffering while these men prance about yakking about how THEY ARE BEING ABUSED!
