- The author, Ecojustice Coordinator for the Anglican Church of Canada, describes her participation in two global Anglican Communion events. In March 2007 she attended "Towards Effective Anglican Mission (TEAM): an International Conference on Prophetic Witness, Social Development, and HIV and AIDS" in Boksburg, South Africa. "In September 2007 I attended a meeting of Anglican Peace and Justice Network (APJN) in the Great Lakes region of Africa, on the theme of post-conflict resolution and reconciliation".
- Speaking of the TEAM Conference and the MDGs (Millennium Development Goals) she comments: "I have been a slow convert to the MDGs. They are neither so clearly rooted in our scriptural tradition, nor do they have the same emphasis on God's economy of abundance and sufficiency. They have been criticized for reflecting the approach of people who think they already know the answers, who regard poverty as an engineering problem that needs only a technical solution, who impose their own response to the 'problem' of poor countries." Hellen Wangusa, the Ugandan-born Anglican Observer at the United Nations, addressed the TEAM conference and "reminded us that the Anglican Communion's commitment goes far beyond 2015, and that its mandate is not only to tend to the poor, but also to address the responsibility of the rich. In her wisdom, she understood that the power of the MDGs lies in the fact that that they name distant and abstract realities, making them specific and direct".
- At the APJN meeting which took place in both Rwanda and Burundi, participants toured places of remembrance for acts of genocide committed in 1994 and 1997 and heard stories of "courage, witness and reconciliation from [meeting participants from] Uganda, Kenya, the Philippines, and Korea ... In every case, I was deeply impressed by the role of the Anglican church -- a role of social analysis, prophetic witness, of healing, and compassion. The factors that define God's mission are not the same in every place. They do not have a deadline and cannot be quantified or monitored. Hellen Wangusa expressed this recently at an American conference called 'Everyone, everywhere'. She said that to her MDGs have always stood for the 'Mission Driven Goals' of the Anglican church in her part of Africa. These MDGs were the kind that shaped Sunday school and catechism classed, ensuring that 'everyone, everywhere' learned to read and write. These MDGs shaped communities that gave rise to the likes of Archbishop Janani Luwum, Stephen Biko, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, helping to form them and given them the courage to speak truth to power, and inspire those around them".

- From 25 September to 3 October 2007, 17 provinces of the Anglican Peace and Justice Network met in Rwanda and Burundi, under the leadership of the Rt. Rev. Pie Ntukamazina, Bishop of Bujumbura. The meeting began in Kigali, Rwanda, with an address from Archbishop Emmanuel Kolini, primate of the Anglican Church of Rwanda. "The Archbishop told the APJN members that their gathering 'is a sacramental moment', and noted the hope their gathering brings to the Rwandan people in contrast to the 'Rwanda of 1994, a time when the world abandoned us'. From April-July of that year more than a million Rwandans were slaughtered by the international community as genocide". "After the Rwanda visit, members of the Network spent six nights in Bujumbura, Burundi under the pastoral care of host Bishop Pie Ntukamazina in a country racked by years of civil strife and conflict". "The meeting originally planned to include a visit to Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo but at the last minute the Network was advised that it may be too dangerous to travel to Goma from Kigali by road and therefore this component of the visit was cancelled. However, the meeting was fortunate to have one member from the DRC, Bishop Bahati Bali Busane, who made a presentation about the situation there, especially as the conflict affects women and children". "Bishop Micah of Sudan outlined the background to the war in Sudan between north and south, its recent resolution, and the continuing conflict and humanitarian disaster that unfolds in Darfur". "Primary among the recommendations to be included in a forthcoming report is our firm conviction that the Anglican Communion increase its presence in the regions and countries in conflict, and to be in solidarity with the affected local Anglican provinces and jurisdictions. We particularly call for increased solidarity with the Anglican provinces in the Great Lakes region".
- Canadian representatives at this meeting were Cynthia Patterson and the Rev. Maylanne Maybee.
