'Indaba' brings Anglican leaders from India, England here


From Staten Island-

“Without sharing, we tend to stagnate.”

Canon Phil Groves of the Anglican Communion Office in London was among religious leaders from England and India who gathered at St. Joseph’s Episcopal Church, Rosebank, as part of the Continuing Indaba Project.

“The Anglican Communion is no longer predominately white, no longer predominately English or American,” said Canon Groves, who organized the trip.

The Anglican Communion worldwide has more than 85 million members in 160 countries. New York is one of more than 100 dioceses in the 2.3-million member U.S. Episcopal Church.

Indaba is a Zulu word that refers to decision-making by consensus, which the Episcopal church seeks in these modern times. The Indaba Project is a way of enabling conversation and new and fresh ideas, Canon Groves said.
