individualism and cultural pride that ignores the fact that the whole truth is revealed to the whole church. In both the theological and numerical differences, we need to affirm our interdependence as Anglican churches. What affects all should be decided by all. There is a great need to recover the conciliar nature of the Anglican Communion that is practiced through the Lambeth Conferences and the Primates Meetings. Losing our conciliar ethos will lead to disunity as churches take uncoordinated, independent and unilateral decisions. I here remember what Cardinal Ivan Dias said to us in his address to the Lambeth 2008 conference, when we live myopically in the fleeting present, oblivious of our past heritage and apostolic traditions, we could well be suffering from spiritual Alzheimer's" and "when we behave in a disorderly manner, going whimsically our own way, without any coordination with the head or the other members of our community, it could be ecclesial Parkinson's." Our Anglican Communion is a real gift from God and we long to see it united and playing its important and unique role within the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church.
