The Africa sub-regions are platforms for close cooperation and dialogue, for building communion and strengthening common understanding among member churches as well as opportunities for joint initiatives in holistic mission. The sub regions also help in fostering spaces for reconciliation when needed and accompanying emerging churches. It is a space for wider relations in the LWF communion and ecumenical movement.
