"Working within the guidelines of the planning committee, the facilitation team will ensure that speakers and workshop presenters are adequately briefed, all plenary sessions are facilitated, daily discussions are prepared, a strategic framework is drafted with a toolkit, resolutions are formulated and a conference report is completed," said Delene Mark, Chief Executive Officer of HOPE Africa (the social development arm of the Anglican Church in Southern) and coordinator of TEAM.
Priorities for the eight-day conference will be to review the response of the Anglican Communion to the MDGs and analyse the impact of the goals on women and children; assess first Pan-African Anglican Consultation on HIV and AIDS (,Boksburg 1'), which was held in August 2001 and share the African experience with the Anglican Communion; encourage opportunities for learning and transformation through dialogue among people with diverse experiences and perspectives; and encourage a prophetic articulation for an Anglican theology which supports witness and action for social justice.
The conference will also include an exposition of the Biblical principles and Gospel imperatives on the mission of the Church in society.
"This conference is a much needed platform for Africans to explore strategies that will lead to a successful battle against HIV and AIDS, poverty and other social ills.Through dialogue we will be able to find solutions," concluded Mark.
