The Global South Primates meeting has concluded 22nd September in Kigali, Rwanda, with the issue of a communiqué that criticises the 75th General Convention's response to the Windsor Report.
The communiqué also announced that "some of us will not be able to recognise" the Episcopal Church's next Presiding Bishop "as a Primate at the table with us" at the next Anglican Primates' Meeting, set for February 2007 in Tanzania.
In particular it was expressed that the Convention has "no clear embrace of the minimal recommendations of the Windsor Report".
It has been reported that 20 of the Anglican Communion's 38 Provinces were represented at the meeting, however, it must be noted that signatories among the Primates in attendance were not part of the statement. Therefore, it is unclear how many, or which, Primates endorsed the communiqué.
A controversial history will be written on 4th November when the US Episcopal Church's Presiding Bishop-elect, Katharine Jefferts Schori officially becomes the first woman to lead an Anglican Province when she formally takes office.
