"This report captures the essence of the multi-faceted, multicultural Anglican Communion through the sermons, hearings, reports, and resolutions from the 10th Meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council held in Panama City in October 1996. There the Council wrestled with the key issues that must be addressed by the Anglican Communion as it faces the challenges of mission, human sexuality, fundamentalism, Islam, crises, morality, evangelism, liturgy, ecumenical relations, and structure in the twenty-first century. Includes the complete text of 'The Virginia Report' on church structure, 'The Dublin Report' on liturgy, and an address by the Archbishop of Canterbury that discusses the possibility of an Anglican Congress in the near future and the topics set for the 1998 Lambeth Conference". -- back cover.

"Bishop James Ottley, Anglican Observer at the United Nations, who was invited by the Anglican bishops in Burundi to serve as a mediator, returned recently and described his visit." "The Church [of Burundi] strongly condemned the selling of arms to the people of Burundi, and requested funds so that they could service the many human needs in the Province".
"The Anglican Communion has responded with enthusiasm to the Lambeth Fathers' call for a Decade of Evangelism. In these pages lay persons, evangelists, scholars, bishops, and clergy convey stories of 'Sharing the Good News through Mission' in their part of God's world. As the title suggests, evangelism and mission are inseparable. These chapters express that reality against a background of cultural diversity and experience". -- back cover.

"These essays are the fruit of the first 'Symposium on Latin American Anglicanism', sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of Panama with the financial support of Trinity Church, New York, USA" (p. 3), held in Panama City from 9-12 September 1986. "From the beginning of our tradition, we Anglicans have emphasized the doctrine of the Incarnation, because we believe that the gospel is communicated through the word mad flesh. The challenge now is for the gospel we serve to be made flesh in these churches, on this continent. That was the purpose of the `Symposium on Latin American Anglicanism'. That was the great hope we raised in those days, and which goes on encouraging us towards the future.
It was my privilege to act as the organizer and moderator of the Symposium and to edit and prepare the documents for publication. The Spanish version of the texts appeared in 1987, under the title `Somos Anglicanos'. I have also served as translator for this English version" (p. 6). -- Intro., pp. [3], 6.
