- 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".
