Kanuga Meeting to Set Cape Town Agenda

Episcopal News Service. April 10, 1992 [92090F]

The theme and agenda for next year's historic Anglican meeting in Cape Town, South Africa, will be defined by Anglican leaders when they gather at the Kanuga Conference Center near Hendersonville, North Carolina, beginning on April 24. The Cape Town assembly, slated for January 1993, will mark the first joint meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council (ACC) and the primates of the worldwide Anglican Communion. The joint assembly, convening at the midpoint of the Decade of Evangelism, will also embody an act of solidarity with the anti-apartheid movement in the Province of Southern Africa. Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey will be among the Anglican leaders at Kanuga, as the Standing Committees of the Primates of the Anglican Communion and the ACC plan the Cape Town event. Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Edmond L. Browning and Bishop Robert Johnson of the Diocese of Western North Carolina will welcome the international guests.
