To date, official provincial reps from 20 Provinces are confirmed coming. We also have other participants from various Provinces and Anglican groupings. Ecumenical observers will also be present. As with the Third Encounter, focus will be given to strengthening our commitment to the work and ministry of the Church, her Gospel witness, mission partnerships and economic empowerment needs. There will also be discussions on ways to strengthen the work amongst Global South Provinces. One major focus will be discussions around the Anglican Covenant process. A new Global South Primates Steering Committee will be appointed before the Conference ends.
