But I should not have had to do that, even though I was glad to do so. He spoke of his initiative, the Anglican Investment Agency, which he described as a simple but imaginative way the Communion can use the huge funds of the developed churches to help the developing churches. The presentation included Peter William's video footage of Archbishop Carey in Mozambique and spot photos by Jim Rosenthal of Anglican World magazine. Focusing on the vocation of the Anglican Communion in the 21st century, Archbishop Carey said that the church was already learning that it must welcome people, care for them, ensure that they feel at home in worship, and relate the Anglican faith to the needs of people outside. Growing churches are welcoming, with lively worship, Archbishop Carey noted.
Services can be a lot brighter and more interesting than they often are.
Archbishop Carey also encouraged Anglicans, particularly those in the West, to be less apologetic about being spiritual. He argued that Anglicans have never been comfortable just preaching the Gospel, but have always endeavoured to live it and put it to work. I want to encourage these gifts for the sake of the kingdom. A video featuring work by women in India, produced by Colleen Samuels, brought to life the Archbishop's praise for women's ministry.
