The frequent gathering of Primates is one of the main ways by which the 38 provinces of the Anglican Communion, representing over 70,000,000 Christians, express and build their unity. We are grateful to the Archbishop of Canterbury for inviting us to gather for this time of prayer and deliberation, and to the Episcopal Church, USA for their hospitality at Kanuga Conference Center, North Carolina. We have gathered for a week in which we have reflected deeply on the blessing of life in the Spirit of Jesus Christ that unites us as a Communion.
A Pastoral Letter and call to Prayer was issued at the close of the meeting
