Global Christian Forum
19/04/2024
The Global Christian Forum met from 16 to 19 April in Accra, Ghana, under the theme ‘That the world may know’. True to its aim to embrace the whole worldwide fellowship of Christians, there were Christians from every continent, and from a huge range of the global Christian family, including members of the Church of England. The forum is a place of encounter and faith-sharing, and does not make statements or take decisions. Its meetings included opportunities for sharing personal stories of faith, and for acts of worship, and a visit to the Cape Coast Castle where slaves were imprisoned and traded, and an ensuing service of lament and reconciliation.
