Tonight Jerusalem will host a press conference for the presentation of a 94-page document, which will act as a guideline for the discussions that will be held during the "Global Anglican Future Conference" (Gafcon). The conference an alternative to the Lambeth Conference, which will take place in England in July, under the guidance of the archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams will take place from June 22nd to 29th. According to a release published by the newsroom of "Gafcon", the meeting will be attended by one thousand Anglican leaders from 25 countries, including 280 bishops. The event is supported by the Anglican archbishops of Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, South-America and Sydney (Australia).
