The Global South
Fellowship of Anglican Bishops brings together Orthodox Anglicans composed of
12 Provinces from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. It also recently welcomed
the Anglican Church of North America (ACNA) from the Global North with whom
they share biblical values, in terms of condemning homosexuality.
The GSFA is an
ecclesiastical part of the greater Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON)
founded in 2008 by conservative Anglican leaders who felt that the traditional
teachings of the Anglican Church were being compromised by liberal
interpretations. Therefore, the GAFCON movement within the Anglican Communion emerged
in response to theological and doctrinal differences, particularly regarding
issues such as homosexuality and the authority of scripture.
The movement provides a
platform for Orthodox Anglicans to congregate, affirm their common beliefs, and
address what they perceive as departures from traditional Anglican doctrine and
practice within the Anglican Communion.
Bishop Alfred Olwa, the
Chairman of the Leadership and Ministerial Formation Track, and Archbishop Dr.
Justin Badi, Chairman of the GSFA Steering Committee, the Egypt retreat aims to
equip bishops with essential ministry skills, enabling them to be faithful
guardians of the flock and zealous leaders in mission.
Archbishop Kaziimba was
accompanied by his Chaplain, Rev. Johnson Kansiime, and will be joined by
Bishops: Michael Chorey from Karamoja, North Ankole Bishop, Alfred Muhoozi, and
Prof. Alfred Olwa from Lango.
This year’s GSFA retreat
follows the first retreat hosted by the Church of Uganda last year at the Lweza Training
and Conference Center, in Entebbe. A total of 26 bishops attended, from six Provinces:
Myanmar (Burma), IAMA (Angola), Uganda, DR Congo, Indian Ocean (Mauritius and
Madagascar) and Alexandria (The Horn of Africa).
