 GAFCON has produced a new logo style and wording. Veritas means truth which is the vertical relation between God and humanity which is Christ. Uniti means united which is the horizontal relationship between all believers found in the body of Christ. Uniti now replaces Unium. Unium, also means united, but as a non dictionary hapax legomenon could cause misunderstanding. |

| 1,000 Christian leaders, 280 bishops to GAFCON in Jerusalem |
 Over 1000 senior leaders from seventeen provinces in the Anglican Communion, representing 35 million church-going Anglicans, have registered for the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) in Jerusalem at the close of the online registration process. They include 280 bishops, almost all accompanied by their wives. Final attendance figures will depend on smooth processing of requested visas, and other factors. GAFCON leaders have met in the period leading up to Pentecost with the leaders of Anglican, Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Eastern Catholic churches and Palestinian Christians and Messianic Jews in Jerusalem to brief them on the nature and purpose of GAFCON. GAFCON is concerned to affirm the continuing presence of the Church in the Holy Land. | | Read more... |

| Pilgrimage at the heart of Gafcon
|
 Plans are well in hand for the Global Anglican Future Pilgrimage and Conference at the end of June. The Pilgrimage is to the roots of the Christian Faith. Pilgrims will visit the Mount of Olives where Jesus and his disciples often spent time, especially on the eve of his crucifixion, the steps of the Temple where Peter preached on the day of Pentecost, and Bethlehem, Nazareth and Capernaum, the places of Jesus' birth, upbringing and early ministry. The roots of the Christian faith are also in the scriptures of the Old and New Testament. So there will be daily study sessions focusing on expositions of bible texts by speakers from East Asia, Canada, Ghana, Nigeria and England. Worship will also be an important element. There will be early morning communion and night prayer each day. There will also be a major pilgrimage Holy Communion Service at the opening and closing of the Pilgrimage with the sermon by an Anglican Primate. Worship is being planned by a team from the United States and Uganda. Some afternoons and most after-dinner periods are being left free for pilgrims to undertake other visits, for example to the Via Dolorosa and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and for fellowship together to share their experience and partnership in mission. |

Peter Akinola, has called on all God's people throughout the Church of Nigeria for Massive Intercessory Movement for the forthcoming Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON).

worldwide and glorify His Name. Archbishop Kwashi also requested that the Church intercede for the organizers of GAFCON and for God's guidance in all practical arrangements and safety in travel. From the Church of Nigeria website. |
