A journey of conversation to strengthen relationships for mission

The Rt. Rev. Alfred C. Reid

Bishop of Jamaica & The Cayman Islands

‘Even in this global village of instant electronic communication, it is easy to become isolated, insular and introverted.  We have to work intentionally to overcome this tendency.’


  •  Intensifying relationships across the Communion
  •  Energising local and global mission
  •  Enabling genuine conversation across difference

Frequently asked Questions:

What does it have to do with mission?

For the Anglican Communion, God's mission is holistic, concerned for all human beings and the totality of a human person; body mind and spirit. Unfortunately sometimes we, as human beings, become focused on one or two issues that detract from this holistic vision. Conversations across our differences re-engages us with God’s holistic mission.
