- "The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are the worlds time-bound and quantified targets for addressing extreme poverty in its many dimensions -- income poverty, hunger, disease, lack of adequate shelter, and exclusion -- while promoting gender equality, education, and environmental sustainability. They are also basic human rights -- the rights of each person on the planet to health, edict, shelter, and security".
- The eight goals are: Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education. Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women. Goal 4: Reduce child mortality. Goal 5: Improve maternal health. Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability. Goal 8: Develop a Global Partnership for Development.

- Notes
- The Anglican Peace and Justice Network met in New York NY in May 1996. This year the Network shared in the Round Table Conference on World Debt. Human rights were the main issue and the network heard about the work of the South African Truth Commission and about the meeting between Episcopal Presiding Bishop Edmond Browning and Burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
- "Although the meeting rejoiced at the news of the UN decision at Geneva that anti-personnel land mines should be declared illegal, they were distressed to see a White House spokesman saying that the one exception must be the frontier between North and South Korea". As a result of this, the network voted to hold its next meeting in South Korea.

- "Anglican Mission Agency, the USPG is standing in solidarity alongside the Philippine Independent Church following the arrest of a bishop on what it describes as 'the spurious charge of illegal possession of firearms and ammunitions'. The Rt. Rev. Carlo Morales, Bishop of Ozamis -- together with his wife, aide and driver -- were in a vehicle with Romel Salinas, a consultant of the National Democratic Front (NDFP), a group which promotes 'national freedom and the democratic rights of the people'. The police had a warrant for the arrest of Mr. Salinas, but no warrant for Bishop Carlo and his companions. According to human rights lawyers -- the Union of People's Lawyers in Mindanao (UPLM) -- the arrest of Bishop Carlo was therefore illegal". [Text of entire article.]

- Commenting on the communiqué from the January 2016 Primates' Meeting, Sison notes that the primates "condemned homophobic prejudice and violence 'and resolved to work together to offer pastoral care and loving service irrespective of sexual orientation'. They also reaffirmed their 'rejection of criminal sanctions against same-sex attracted couples'". "Such statements may not mean much to those living in countries like Canada, where LGBTQ rights are already enshrined in the constitution and same-sex marriage is legal. But they do matter in five countries and in parts of two others, where homosexuality is punishable by death -- including death by stoning. They do matter in more than 70 countries where homosexuality is still illegal, with punishments ranging from 100 blows of the whip to life imprisonment". "It is for this reason that the joint statement issued February 22 [2016] by the Anglican Church of Southern Africa is noteworthy. Yes, the church's position remained unchanged -- it will still not allow same-sex blessings nor ordain those in same-gender unions. But it has declared, 'All baptized, believing and faithful persons, regardless of sexual orientation, are full members of the Body of Christ'. It is 'an important first step' in a country that allows same-sex marriage but remains largely conservative, says its primate, Archbishop Thabo Makgoba". "The challenge is for primates of other churches to really mean what they say and bring the words of their communiqué to life".

- Includes bibliographical references.
- "On 18 December 1990, the General Assembly of the United Nations passed resolution 45/164, proclaiming 1993 as the 'International Year for the World's Indigenous People'. .... Subsequent deliberations in the United Nations produced a thematic goal for the Year which affirmed their expressed conviction: 'Indigenous People -- A New Partnership'. The term 'new partnership' is both ambiguous and crucial. It is ambiguous in its false implication that a previous 'partnership' has actually existed. The term is crucial insofar as it suggests a new relationship can be formed between indigenous peoples and member States. Believing that it would be good for the international community as a whole, the Anglican Observer to the United Nations works actively to make that new partnership happen. Indeed, one purpose of this paper is to discuss the moral and theological significance of such efforts. .... The paper is written for people, primarily Anglicans, who are interested in ways of living which are more ethical and environmentally sound than the ones currently shaping global affairs. ... Emphasis will be placed on specific problem areas pertaining to sovereignty, religion, environment, and development." -- pp. 1-2.

- Notes
- Text of the pastoral letter from the Primates Meeting which included mention of "the denial of human rights, often leading to the displacement of people and explosion of refugee populations, and by the persistence of poverty, racism, sexism, and tribalism in the midst of political and human strife." The letter gives thanks for the "political miracle in South Africa" and expressed the Primates' "continuing concern for the Church in Rwanda". The letter also mentioned the problem of international debt and referred to the "serious questions relating to human sexuality [which] are being faced by the Church" and asked that the Church "face the questions about sexuality with honesty and integrity, avoiding unnecessary confrontation and polarisation, in a spirit of faithful seeking to understand more clearly the will of God for our lives as Christians".
