Unlike the Lambeth conference, GAFCON includes clergy and lay leaders and in the case of Australian contingent, they will travel from New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia. 

This is good, says Orombi “..we want clergy, we want lay people, we want younger generation leaders, potential leaders so we’ve seen beyond just bishops, we want to go beyond that ..”

In an indication of the mood he thought should pervade GAFCON, Orombi said delegates will “..think of mission.  What is it that the Lord demands of our church?  What is the need of the world?  Let’s go for it.” 

He said the current crisis involving the Episcopal church in America had been going on since 2003. 

“I think it is a question of stewardship of time and resources.  GAFCON will help us to begin to see how can we now move on.  Okay, the Anglican communion is there.  The agendas within the Anglican communion should shift and some of us should start it.”
