From 10-15 February, 80 delegates, representing the Anglican Churches of the South, gathered in the beautiful city of Kuala Lumpur, to meet, know and encourage one another; to follow up on the first Encounter in the South and to reflect on the place of Scripture in the life and mission of the Church in the 21st century. Because the Lambeth 1998 Conference was in view, most of the delegates were bishops or archbishops.

Augustine was an Italian monk, who probably died in 604 He was prior of St. Andrew's monastery in Rome and was chosen by Pope Gregory the Great to lead a mission to the southern English. The work of the mission is known from the register books of Pope Gregory1s letters, and from the account written by the Northumbrian scholar Bede completed in 731 and based on Kentish sources. These texts have been extensively examined in the last 60 years, so that many statements are now controversial.

The Anglican Communion Office receives most of the diocesan papers from around the world. We use these as resource material for ACNS and Anglican World magazine but we often find features which we know will be of interest to other parts of the Communion but which we are unable to reproduce in Anglican World. With the advent of this new weekly ACNS we hope to be able to post up features which we believe will be of interest to other Provinces. The views and opinions expressed in these articles may not be those of the Anglican Communion Office. Please credit the author, newspaper or magazine and ACNS if you use this service. We would also be grateful to know whether you find this service helpful.
