Ministries - Continuing Indaba
A journey of conversation to strengthen relationships for mission
The Revd. Canon Mark Oxbrow
International Network Coordinator, Faith2Share
‘Anglicans will find themselves in mission once again if their Indaba and worship can bring them into new places of listening to God, one another and the world.’
- Intensifying relationships across the Communion
- Energising local and global mission
- Enabling genuine conversation across difference
Why continuing?
The Indaba journey began at Lambeth the Conference in 2008. This project continues that process by exploring ways of communicating across our differences within the Anglican Communion

Canon Phil Groves, who said the guiding principle and the key to its success has been in placing Christ at the center of the conversations.
The Bishop of Gloucester, the Rt Revd Michael Perham, the Bishop of El Camino Real, the Rt Revd Mary Gray-Reeves and the Bishop of Western Tanganyika, the Rt Revd Sadock Makaya, have written to the Archbishop of Canterbury reflecting on their Indaba process, stressing the importance of the project and the hope that it will be expanded within the Anglican Communion.
