The fourth consultation among Canadian, American and African bishops took place in Cape Town South Africa from Thursday May 2nd<\/sup> to Sunday May 5th<\/sup> 2013. We met in the context of worship, prayer, Scripture reading and the breaking of bread.\u00a0 Through the presentation of papers, continuing conversation, and growing relationships we engaged in dialogue both in sessions and over meals.<\/p>\n

We recognized that we have inherited the ministry of reconciliation from our Lord Jesus Christ; that God’s mission is not a human achievement. It is something we are called to live into and to share. We observed that the engagement in the ministry of reconciliation is a costly process because it involves facing positive and negative truths about others and about ourselves with courage, honesty and humility.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
