The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, has said that the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) provide a key focus for the churches of the Anglican Communion.

Speaking at the start of the TEAM Conference (Towards Effective Anglican Mission), an international Anglican conference taking place in Boksburg near Johannesburg in South Africa, Dr Williams said that working towards key objectives like the MDGs raised fundamental and positive challenges for the Anglican Church.
