Dear Archbishops and Bishops
Further to our letter of 18 November 2010, we wish to communicate to you that we have now defined our particular mission in Southern Africa (see attached Mission Statement), and changed our name to “We Are All Church” (WAACSA). We believe that our mission accords with the spirit of the Second Vatican Council, and we hope to be recognized as a group of Catholics in good standing who wish to promote the implementation and furthering of the renewal of the Church that was begun there fifty years ago.
We are convinced that, without significant renewal and metanoia, a serious rift in the Church is inevitable. We therefore stand for dialogue and openness to new ideas and challenges, and a more loving and inclusive approach within the Church.
We look forward to entering into dialogue with you in this time of kairos
Yours sincerely in Christ
