Jefferts Schori said countering individualistic faith was one reason the theme chosen for the meeting was "Ubuntu," an African word that describes humaneness, caring, sharing and being in harmony with all of creation.

Unlike so many, I don't feel so disconnected and adrift from my faith and beliefs that I need to go looking to different cultures, lands, and peoples to manufacture metaphors about my relationship to Jesus Christ, cornerstone of my faith. Jesus knew my sins, suffered anyway, rose again, made me clean. Eleven words, none of them in Swahili, Reverend.
