Frequently asked questions about The Nairobi-Cairo Proposals

Welcome

Thank you for your interest in IASCUFO’s work on The Nairobi-Cairo Proposals.

The Nairobi-Cairo Proposals (NCPs) is a theological paper that offers a framework for fostering Christian unity and deepening communion amid difference and division. The NCPs was published in Advent 2024.

The paper is the result of a long-term piece of work, commissioned at the Anglican Consultative Council in 2023, to do a renewed exploration of “structure and decision-making to help address our differences in the Anglican Communion.”

The ACC resolution underlined “the importance of seeking to walk together to the highest degree possible and learning from our ecumenical conversations how to accommodate differentiation patiently and respectfully.”

Since 2024, IASCUFO have published a Supplement, that offers some refinements to the original proposals.

The Nairobi-Cairo Proposals will be discussed at the next ACC meeting, which will be held in Belfast in 2026.

The present guidance document gives an overview of the recommendations and offers responses to some frequently asked questions. It has been developed as an accompaniment piece to IASCUFO’s key documents.
